  I wanted to have a pop up small window linking a word to either wiki entry or a photo, so that readers don’t have to leave my page to get additional bits of info. Saw it in a blog I read, loved it, inquired about – it turns out it is from apture.com

  I realize that this platform won’t allow me to install apture – is there any way to create a similar pop up using wordpress.com available tools?

  thank you…

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

  Thanks, igstork

  Actually I disabled that feature because I thought it was annoying. The pop up as they have in apture works in a slightly different way, you really have to click on it, if you don’t click it behaves as a normal text.

  Maybe I should look into this mshots again with this new perspective in mind.

  Thanks again!
