Comments
- Use the title of the post if it has one. If not, enter the full text of the post. If it is a long text you may shorten it to an appropriate lenght followed by "...".
- The date of retrieval should be stated for all electronic sources, in addition to the year of publication. This is written as shown above, in square brackets with the word "Accessed:". The reason for this is that electronic sources may theoretically get edited and the information in them can then change. For this reason it is important to indicate at what time you studied an electronic source.
