Explain

For a comment on a blog post, include information about the comment as well as the original post.

  • Begin with the author of the comment, using a screen name if one appears in the post, followed by the author’s real name in parentheses (if it is available).
  • Give the title of the comment, in quotation marks; if it has no title, use the label “Blog comment,” with no quotation marks.
  • Follow with information about the blog: the title of the original post, if there is one (if there is no title, use the label “Blog post,” with no quotation marks); the author of the post, preceded by the word “by”’; the title of the blog, italicized; and the publisher of the blog.
  • The date should be the date the comment was posted.
  • Your date of access if there is no date of posting or update date.

NOTE: When a URL must be divided at the end of a line, break it before a period or a hyphen or after any other mark of punctuation. Do not insert a hyphen at the end of the line.
