sidenote boxes in blog posts
lab.arc90 has developed a neat little sidenote tool.
Basically if you want to go off on a tangent or explain something in your blog post, instead of doing it within the body text you can write it in a little box that lives in the body of your post…you can even insert images in the box. This way your little rant is kept separate from your post, now the user can decide to go off on the tangent by reading the sidenote box.
Another idea explained in an old post of mine is related to having a mouse over or expanding box in your post that reveals a list of links. Instead of writing…”see here and here and here“…you could have a sidenote.
Although for this purpose an expanding box would be even better…see 3spots on how to do this.
Here’s an example of a sidenote.

The code for your blog template is shown in this post.
Then when ever you want to write a sidenote follow step 3 as shown here.
NOTE: still in its infancy.
