One resource that I find to be extremely valuable is KnightCite citation website. It allows you to simply fill in the template and rearranges the information you submit to create the correct order for almost any kind of source. The bar on the left lets you choose your citation style: Chicago, APA and MLA. Underneath it lists resource types from you to choose from. So you just type in the given information and press enter, and you can just copy and paste the citation into your works cited or, in this case, your footnotes of your blog. One thing you need to be aware of, however, is the fact that this citation source does not automatically capitalize letters based on citation style, so you must be aware of the rules of capitalization that are used for APA, MLA and Chicago. The above features are for anyone who just wants to visit the site. If you register as a user you can save citations, create alphabetized lists and work on a number of bibs at once. I think even the standard features are great. Now I’m going to go ahead and use this site to cite this site in my blog.
