Style Notes

A blog is a category of website that includes dated entries and dated comments.
The title of a blog should be italicized; titles of blog entries (similar to articles in a periodical) should be in quotation marks.
Citations of website content are usually only included in the text and the notes, not in the bibliography. However, frequently cited resources can be included in the bibliography if appropriate.
