How to Add a Footnote With No Number in LaTeX

In LaTeX, it is very easy to create footnotes. The simplest way is to use this syntax:

\footnote{put text here}

In some cases, you might want to suppress the number on a footnote. I looked around the web, and a few suggestions were out there, but the simplest one I could find was the following:

\let\thefootnote\relax\footnotetext{put text here}

Depending on what you’re trying to do, you might have to tweak numbers of later footnotes, so keep that in mind. This page has a few hints on how to do this.
