This document provides instructions for citing websites, blogs, and articles found on websites in MLA format. It explains that a website citation includes the author if available, article title, website title, website publisher, and date accessed. For websites without authors, only include the article title, website title, publisher, and date information. A blog post citation follows a similar structure but also identifies the blog post type. The date published and date accessed are both important elements to include.
