What’s the proper MLA format for citing a weblog comment? More specifically, how does one acknowledge the comment author and comment title (if applicable), and does one need to acknowledge the weblog title and weblog author? Does Gibaldi’s 2003 Handbook edition entry 5.9.9.k, “An Online Posting”, feel adequate? I’d be grateful for any advice from folks who are teaching writing classes where students read and cite weblogs.
Citing Weblog Comments
Here you go.
That’s handy. Wondered about that myself after a question at Lil’s last night. I thought perhaps my edition was too antiquated but it did have Online Posting. I’d not sure why specific examples of blog comments haven’t been provided by Gibaldi.
