Whenever I wanted to use a citation I'd just write
\footnotecite[something]. But I see now there is this page that
describes a different process for using BibTeX:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography
I will take a look today and try to incorporate the new best practice
for using the database and its citations. If you have any suggestions I
will try and incorporate them.
