On your second citation it looks like there are two periods in a row with a space in between. I don't know if that's just from the blog post or if that's actually what you have.

I noticed that many of your websites are very long. Try cutting these down to just the information you need to get to that website. Also, I believe that websites should have a little < both before and after them. I felt as though some of your annotations were a little weak, perhaps try reading through them again and strengthening them a little. Everything else looks pretty good though! :)

On the second citation, you put a & but i think you should actually put "and" nothing big just remember.

David Robinson said...

Just one other small issue, you need to alphabetize the citations. Its not that big, but don't forget.

Aaron said...

You web sites for the most part are extremely long and I'm not quite sure that is completelty right.

Lance Harper said...

On some websites they offer citations already made so check those out for some of the journal or book entries if you are finding them online.

Some of the websites that you posted are really long. I don't think they need to be that long, but you should check on it.

On your last citation, you listed both of the authors last name first, THEN first initial. If I'm not mistaken, the first author should have his last name first followed by a first initial, and all other author's name should have the first initial followed by their surname.
