Citations 4 The Lack Thereof

I have a lot of questions, about citing other works. Now I have learned there are even more answers.
From the web sight, of Duke University Libraries I have found a full list of different styles for citing works, from various resources (Books, Magazines, Journals...Etc). I chose to exemplify a web page citation. The following is an excerpt from instructions on how to blog.

My Works Cited is in the Chicago format as follows:

(Sorry, I am having trouble formatting, see Duke University Libraries for a good example)

Things that are important to remember are:
  • The Author (if listed)

  • The Name of the Producer or Company (of the web page)
  • The Last Modified Date w/ The Citation Date
  • The web page address (full address)

I now, have an excellent resource for instructions to cite works I use in my research. (Duke University Libraries!)
