Style notes
- When quoting from a webpage, use the paragraph number instead of the page number.
- A reference entry does not need to be made if you refer generally to a website in text. After the website name is mentioned, include the URL in parentheses e.g. APA Style Blog (https://apastyle.apa.org/blog).
- If there is no author listed, use the website name as the author.
- When the author name is the same as the site name, leave the site name out of the source element in the reference.
