Hypothesis is a web annotation tool that allows users to provide commentary, references, and insight on top of news, blogs, scientific articles, books, terms of service, ballot initiatives, legislation and regulations, software code and more. You can find out more at http://hypothes.is/

This plugin will allow you to automatically embed Hypothesis in your site.

  1. Upload hypothesis.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. You’re done! The frontend of your site should now be enabled to use Hypothesis.
