Type the name of the author of the website, and the editor's name if available. Type the initials "n.p." if there is no known publisher or editor for the website. The name is normally located somewhere on the website; however, if you do not find an author's name, you do not have to use it. You do still need to cite the electronic source that you used.
Put the name of the article right after the author's name, and it should be placed in quotes. An example of this would be: Reinholz, Angela, "How to Cite a Website Using the MLA Writing Style."
Place the name of the website in italics, right after the article's name. According to the Purdue Online writing website, if you are quoting the entire website you may put the name of the website in place of an article name. Use the full name of the website and not an abbreviated version of the name. An example of the citation would look like this: Reinholz, Angela, "How to Cite a Website Using the MLA Writing Style," ehow.com.
Use the date that the article was published to show when it was last updated. The date that the website was last updated can usually be found on the website article.
Type in the date that you accessed the work on the website. This allows readers to know that the content was there as of the date you wrote the paper.
Locate the URL at the top of the web browser. According to the Purdue Online Writing Lab, the current MLA guide does not request the web page location due to the constant changes that occur on the Internet, but a professor or scholar might request that you add the URL. If you are requested to add the URL, place the information in brackets. An example: <http://www.ehow.com>.
