How to use “notes” or “references” in posts?

Between the text I want to write some notes on some word or sentence. Notes are usually at the bottom of the text and marked with superscripted number (or letter) at the end of word or sentence in the text.

I hope you understand what I mean.

Is there any way how to do it?

(I couldn’t find it support section).

Thanks

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Afraid I haven’t found any footnote functionality on WP.com; the solution I’ve used is to use a number in parentheses (1).

(1) and then type in the footnote by hand at the bottom.

There is a way to do it, but we need a link to the blog in question first.

I’m assuming it’s this one: http://jonatan0.wordpress.com/ which is linked to the user’s name?

@rain: that one is empty; I won’t reply before I make sure we’re not talking about yet another wp.ORG blog…

Ah, you’re more thorough than me; I only check if the linked name is at WP.com before answering.

Like Panos, I’m also becoming more thorough as I have noticed in several cases when we see an empty wordpress.com blog, and engage in problem solving during the exchange it’s revealed that the blog in question is not a wordpress.com blog at all.

Yes, I am on wordpress.com … it’s just that I didn’t post anything yet. I’m in the process of writing and I came to the problem of footnotes.

And what link do you need? Or I must post something to see that I’m from wordpress.com?

Thanks

Yes, exactly that. We need to always see the specific blog you’re talking about.

I’m thinking if you used an offline blog editor like Windows Live Writer, that could do it. They work pretty much like word processors, and will probably have superscript and subscript ability.

Cant you use the superscript tag<sup>1</sup>?

Your suggestion is also good and simple.

But @hanni’s suggestion is more interactive.

Thank you anyway. Watch my blog and you’ll see…
