Okay, so I have a question on the correct MLA format for internal citations. I did some searching around on their website, which is completely useless. I'm wondering if anybody out there knows how to internally cite websites. Do you simply open parenthesis, and put the URL inside? On a WS they gave out in class, they said to put the author's name, and then the page number, but that was a general statement, and i don't think it can apply for websites. I have a sample of the outline I'm trying to do. My teacher said to include internal citations in the outline. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
