An article about citing a blog post in APA can be written on a variety of levels. A basic level would be to simply provide the URL of the blog post and then list the author, date, and title of the blog post.
A more in-depth level would include providing the original source material for the blog post, along with any additional information that may be helpful for readers when trying to find or use the information in the post.
When citing a blog post, it is generally best to use the author’s last name first, followed by the date of the post, and then the title of the post. For example, if someone wrote a blog post titled “How to Cite a Blog Post in APA” and you wanted to cite it, you would write: “Smith (2016), ‘How to Cite a Blog Post in APA’, http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/how-to-cite-a-blog-post-in-apa-160959827/.
” When citing a blog post that has been reprinted from another source, it is generally best to list both the original source and where you found it so that readers can determine whether or not they want to read the entire article or just use the information in your citation.
