Look at examples of MLA website citations in order to better understand the format.
List the author's name. Begin with the last name, followed by a comma, a space, the author's first name and a period. If there is no author, skip that step and begin with the title. If an organization is functioning as the author, use that group's name.
Place the title of the Web page or article in quotation marks. A period is needed at the end of the title but within the quotations.
Italicize the name of the website. This is the title of the entire site from which you gathered information. End with a period.
Note the publication date by listing the day in numerical format, the spelled-out month and the numerical four-digit year. Enter a space between each piece of the date and a period at the end. If there is no publication date, skip it and move to the next segment.
Cite the medium of publication as Web.
Note the date of access, or when you accessed the page online. Use the same format as the publication date.
Record the website address, or URL, only if required by the instructor. As one of the changes in the updated MLA style guide, Web addresses are no longer necessary. If you are asked to include it, type a "less than" symbol (<) followed by the complete URL, as listed in the browser's address box, and a "greater than" symbol (>). Again, end with a period.
Check to make sure you have a period and a space after each segment of the documented source.
Indent any subsequent line after the first line of text. The next citation will begin aligned left, with indents entered as applicable.
