+== Description ==
+
+Featured on wpmudev: http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/12-surprisingly-useful-wordpress-plugins-you-dont-know-about/
+Cheers for the review, folks!
+
+**footnotes** aims to be the all-in-one solution for displaying an automatically generated list of references on your Page or Post. The Plugin ships with a set of sane defaults but also gives the user control over how their footnotes are being displayed.
+**footnotes** gives you the ability to display decently-formated footnotes on your WordPress Pages or Posts (those footnotes we know from offline publishing).
+
+= Main Features =
+- Fully customizable **footnotes** shortcode
+- Decide, where your **footnotes** are displayed (position of the *Reference Container*)
+- Add custom CSS to style the appeareance of the **footnotes**
+- Responsive *Reference Container*
+- Mouse-Over Box with clickable links displays your **footnotes** text
+- Automatic numbering of your **footnotes**
+- Choose from a list of symbols to represent your **footnotes**
+- Display the **footnotes** *Reference Container* inside a Widget
+- Button in both the Visual and the Text editor
+  - Add **footnotes** into your Page / Post with ease of use by selecting your text and clicking the button
+
+= Example Usage =
+This is an example. Please note, that you can customize the shortcode you want to use.
+
+1. Your awesome text((with an awesome footnote))
+2. Your awesome text[ref]with an awesome footnote[/ref]
+3. Your awesome text`<fn>`with an awesome footnote`</fn>`
+4. Your awesome text `custom-shortcode` with an awesome footnote `custom-shortcode`
+
+= Where to get footnotes? =
+The current version is available on wordpress.org:
+http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/footnotes.zip
+
+= Support =
+Please report feature requests, bugs and other support related questions in the WordPress Forums at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/footnotes
+
+Speak your mind, unload your burdens. Notice how we screwed up big time? Bring it to our attention in the above mentioned WordPress Forums. Be polite, though :)
+
+= Development =
+Development of the plugin is an open process. Latest code is available on wordpress.org
+
+== Frequently Asked Questions ==
+
+= Is your Plugin a copy of footnotes x? =
+
+No, this Plugin has been written from scratch. Of course some inspirations on how to do or how to not do things were taken from other plugins.
+
+= Your Plugin is awesome! How do I convert my footnotes if I used one of the other footnotes plugins out there? =
+
+1. For anyone interested in converting from the FD Footnotes plugin:
+Visit this swift write-up from a **footnotes** user by the name of **Southwest**: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-this-footnote-style?replies=6#post-5946306
+2. From what we've researched, all other footnotes Plugins use open and close shortcodes, which can be left as is. In the **footnotes** settings menu, you can setup **footnotes** to use the existing (=previously used) shortcodes. Too easy? Yippy Ki-Yey!
+
+== Installation ==
+- Visit your WordPress Admin area
+- Navigate to `Plugins\Add`
+- Search for **footnotes** and find this Plugin among others
+- Install the latest version of the **footnotes** Plugin from WordPress.org
+- Activate the Plugin
+
+== Screenshots ==
+1. Find the footnotes plugin settings in the newly added "ManFisher" Menu
+2. Settings for the *References Container*
+3. Settings for **footnotes** styling
+4. Settings for **footnotes** love
+5. Other Settings
+6. The HowTo section in the **footnotes** settings
+7. Here you can see the **footnotes** Plugin at work. Isn't that plain beautiful?
