Hey guys, I’m starting a blog, but I’m confused about how to mention a website properly. Can we just put a link in the blog post, or do we have to make a proper MLA or AP citation?
When mentioning a website in your blog post, simply including a hyperlink is typically sufficient. MLA or AP citations aren’t necessary for most blog formats. However, if you’re referencing specific information or quoting extensively, providing a brief citation at the end of your post can add credibility. But for general mentions, a clickable link works just fine.
You can do so by in-text citation. This can be achieved by incorporating the source directly into your content.
Simply include a hyperlink to the source right within the text. This is how most blogs operate.
To mention a website in a blog post simply use the contextual mention, it Integrates the website naturally into your content. Mention it in a way that adds value to your readers and fits seamlessly with your topic.
As the author, I would like to provide you with the title of the page, which can be found on the website owned by the title or owner of the site. The publication date or last modified date is also available, along with the URL. When there is no named author, it is important to provide the name of the site owner.
