How Do You Write a Citation for a Blog?

When writing a citation for a blog, it’s important to follow the same format as other sources. The most common way to cite a blog is to use the author’s last name, followed by the year of publication, in parentheses. For example:

Smith, J. (2012).

How to write a great thesis statement. Retrieved from http://www.jsmithwriting.com/blog/2012/04/how-to-write-a-great-thesis-statement/.

If you’re quoting a specific quote from a blog post, you would put the quote in quotation marks and provide the author’s last name and the date of the quote, as follows:

“Don’t be afraid to be yourself.” -J.

Smith, 2012.
