Step 2:Use a web resource to help with MLA formatting.
At knightcite you have to plug in the information . . . Only fill in what you can.
For instance, many sources do not include authors’ names. If they aren’t there, don’t fill in the box.
Click on “Entire Website” first, if that’s what you’re citing – most likely, it is.
Leave this as is – you don’t need to include the URL anymore!
