Citing a blog post

Citing a Blog Post

When citing a blog post, use these elements:

  • Who - usually one or two people but it can also be a company name or other type of group author. If you don't see a byline, look at the beginning or end of the post for wording like “posted by.”
  • When - Blog posts generally provide the year, month, and date. Include these within the parentheses in your reference. If the blog doesn’t give that level of detail, just include the year or year and month, if that’s all you can find.
  • What - this it the title of the blog post followed by a notation of "[Blog post]." 
  • Where - use “Retrieved from” and the URL (web address) of the blog post.
