Footnotes are not rendering properly #306

I'm using the [^1] syntax in this post, but the footnotes are not rendering at all.

I did not altered the source of this project when I used it for my github.io website.

If I remember correctly, Github Pages's Markdown settings do not enable footnotes by default.

@plttn It seems you are correct, this may not be an issue with pixyll.

@thundergolfer consider building your site locally and pushing only html to your github site dir. It is very easy to do (build takes just one additional cmd) + allows a lot of flexibility to customize what you get in html :).

@thundergolfer Footnotes work with GH Pages hosted sites. I think the issue is with your Markdown. Try removing the space before the colon like this as per Kramdown's syntax

There are also some Kramdown default options related to footnotes you can change in _config.yml, which GH Pages lets you override.
