I’m working on a research paper for my university course, and I’ve come across some valuable information in a few blog posts. I want to make sure I cite these sources correctly in APA 7th edition. Can someone guide me on how to properly format citations for blogs? I’m especially curious about the details like author names, dates, and URLs. Thanks in advance!

To cite a blog post in APA 7th edition:
- Author’s Last Name, First Initial. (Year, Month, Day). Title of blog post. Title of blog: URL
- Use “n.d.” if date is unavailable.
- Include DOI if available.
- Follow APA formatting guidelines.
Provide the blog post for a specific citation.

Have you considered your blog’s target audience? Casual readers might prefer in-text hyperlinks, while a more academic or professional crowd might appreciate formal citations. Which group are you aiming to reach?

Add the URL together with the blog message post title. The titles of posts in online communities like blogs, newsgroups, and forums are not italicized. Give the screen name if the author’s name is not known. A. A., the blogger (Year, Month, Day). Post title. blog name bolded.
