Wordpress Footnotes

One important aspect of blog usability is intuitive embedded links. Webmasters often link to externals in a way that is not logical to the visitor. Bill Slawski :”(Bill Slawski - The Value of Embedded Links)”: speaks about various navigational strategies saying:

I think that I’ll take one of the suggestions from the Web Style Guide :”(Web Style Guide)”: above, and start putting some related links at the bottoms of posts, when they aren’t quite on point, but something I want to share anyway.

Notice my linknotes reference to footnote [1] and [2] above?

How did I make those numbered links to the footnotes below?

For those of us who use Wordpress an easy way to do this is with a great plugin called Linknotes - by Jeremy Curry.

   It’s funny, I havent’t touched this plugin since wordpress was still in version 1.5, and people still seem to get use of it. I’m glad you like it, and thanks for credit.
