Cite web pages and related content by identifying the following:
A time stamp of the source can be recorded if the source includes one. If no date can be determined, include an access date. Cite webpages in notes; if it is critical to your argument or frequently cited, include it in your bibliography.
Examples:
1. "Privacy Policy," Privacy & Terms, Google, last modified March 25, 2016, HTTP://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
2. "Balkan Romani," Endagered Languages, Alliance for Linguistic Diversity, accessed June 10, 2016, HTTP://www.endangeredlanguages.com/lang/5342.
In the bibliography, list a source that doesn't include an author name under the title of the website or the name of its owner or sponsor.
Google. "Privacy Policy." Privacy & Terms. Last modified March 25, 2016. HTTP://www.google.com/intl/en/privacypolicy.html.
Articles from news sites can be cited like newspaper articles.
Blog posts are cited in a similar way to articles in magazines and newspapers. Put the title of the post in quotation marks and the title of the blog in italics. Indicate "blog" in parentheses if it is not clear from the title. If the blog is part of a larger publication such as a newspaper or website, give the name of the publication after the title of the blog.
Citations of blog posts can be limited to notes; include in your bibliography if it is critical to your thesis or frequently cited. If you cite multiple posts from the same blog, you can cite the blog as a whole in your bibliography.
