Cool!

Good info on the Reference ID. Didn’t know that was possible (though I hope there’s some kinda of way of looking it up besides manually tracking).

Also, lots of good observations on excerpts, I don’t know on many of those (I have seen them formatted but always minimally) and I have seen them rather long. I prefer to keep mine small but sometimes they are rather long because of the nature of the quote. So, I guess I just don’t know.

I like the idea of hide/show option, too. And definitely like the idea of a Reset Button since I’d fill out all those fields and then be stuck with way too much manual deletion.

Thanks again.

Cool! I think that’s exactly what I’m talking about. And the “Full Excerpt” thing will also be nice for the academic side of things.

I do have a question I haven’t been able to figure out. How do I all the fields when I’m inputting a new citation? I feel stupid that I don’t know how to do this but I am just manually deleting each field.

Thanks again.

Awesomeness.

Is there some way of modifying the way the inline-citation numbering is formatted? I suppose I’ll search through the code and see if I can figure that out. The numbering seems to work great after my little bit of testing.

As for excerpts. I think local storage is absolutely appropriate and just making another field. Excerpts shouldn’t normally ever change and it if they do — all the better to have an original excerpt ??

I’m still playing with how it works — I have to admit I haven’t quite grasped the whole WordPress/NetBlog architecture enough to “get it” but I’m starting to.

I rambled on for a bit… but the answer is yes ??

The only other thing I wonder about is if “excerpts” are supported (much like Judicial Opinions which often include the necessary excerpts).

I’m not sure. Though, I really appreciate the response.

What you’re saying sounds pretty cool and might be exactly what I’m looking for. Since you were kind enough to give me a response, I’ll go a bit more into my situation.

I’m going to be blogging on a specific topic and while it will be informal, I’m hoping to use the informality to make it easier to digest my serious topic, nevertheless, I’d like others to be able to be able to verify anything I say.

I’ll likely be drawing from a number of sources but a few sources I’ll be usually persistently on multiple posts.

I suppose I’d like all my links to be footnotes that contained relevant information (whether I link to a YouTube video, a government PDF report, a news article, a random forum posting, etc). Now, I could just do the “a href=”whatever” title=”information about the link” and maybe put an icon next to it to identify the type of content but there’s got to be a better way! (better in terms of managing all my external links in a sane way, keeping track of the exact content I’m referencing on big files, and in terms of making it easy for readers to follow my references)

Anyway, thanks for your support. I guess I’ll start experimenting with options to make something a reality. What you are saying makes sense but I’m new to WordPress and don’t know if it’s possible to have a “citation” database that I can access so I don’t have to re-input all that valuable data.
