How to log a message to the web developer console - JavaScript

Question

Can I log a custom Message to the web development console? If so,how?

If you check this console for example:

http://passion4web.co.uk/ben/pong

The console logs a message when you press keys. I want to do it so that when my JavaScript loads on to my page it displays a message in the console like

"JavaScript file - ENABLED".

(If it can't be in JavaScript I will take jQuery too)

Thank you!

Use console.log(msg) to log things to the console.

Console.log()

Use the following:

console.log('message');

But be aware of: Is it a bad idea to leave "console.log()" calls in your producton JavaScript code?
