  Can I use footnotes on wordpress.com? I found only self installable plugin for this. But there is nothing about it for wordprees.com hosted blogs

  Your footnotes on a blog are called “trackbacks” and there is a spot for their insertion at the end of your “write” pages.

  You would have to hard code them yourself into your post. There’s no automatic method of doing so.

  I would love to have a link to the plugin though. I’m not familiar with it.

  What’s a footnote? Like a header but it’s on the bottom?

  EDIT: Nevermind. I have a bad habit of never reading the entire post before I reply. lol

  Chris, thanks for the links.

  I deleted a few posts in this thread. Friendly reminder that moderating duties should be left to staff and moderators. :)

  I posted a simple code for using in-text references and footnotes. Hope that it help:
