Inserting Footnotes into your Pages

Just a reminder that, using the WordPress FD Footnotes Plugin, you can now easily insert footnotes into your writing. To insert a footnote, after the text you want to cite, type the following:

An opening square bracket, the number of the footnote (it is the first one, put a 1, if it is the second footnote, put a 2, etc.), a period, a space, the text, and a closing square bracket.

 

Remember that we are using MLA style for citation. You can read more about MLA on the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) site.

  1. Yes, that’s it Simon. Don’t put a final period outside of of the brackets. For example, if you are ending a sentence, put the final period, and then start the foot (with the brackets).
