I think you're saying the same thing in your two options, so it's really a matter of personal preference as to which one you use. Abbreviations start to get confusing. :-)
I have a Basic Source set up in my database for Facebook. Its details are as follows: Source List Name: Website - Facebook.com Type: Web Site Title: www.facebook.com Nothing more. When I use this source, I put the particular details of this citation into the Source Detail field, along the lines of: Picture of John Smith from the Facebook page of Mary Brown posted 1 May 2014, retrieved 5 May 2014. or even more simply: Facebook page of Mary Brown posted 1 May 2014, retrieved 5 May 2014. If there was any text written by Mary in her post about the photo that I wanted to record, I would put it in the Text field (under the Text/Comments tab), and I would tick the box to include this in the citation in reports if that was what I wanted in this situation. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy M Sandvig said the following on 5/05/2014 08:16: > > I have a quandry. One of my cousins posted a photo of some of our > mutual cousins on Facebook.
