Thanks. One problem I see with that is where do you reference the
specific page you were on? The generic internet template only
includes source information for the website as a whole. There isn't
really anyplace to properly source the page used. I've tried to use
the Database template,
Scott,
There are fields there for Website Creator and Website Title. Have you
looked at the Source Detail? I haven't a clue as to what it *should* look
like and frankly I don't even know what that means! Nor do I know what is
meant by I can't seem to permanently clear the Format field, which is
Scott,
Ron's suggestion will provide you with exactly the citation format you are
seeking, however, you will need to have a separate master source for Barack
Obama's page, another for Sarah Palin's page, etc.
That doesn't bother me one bit (well, writing those two names in the same

information from Facebook as personal knowledge of the person who
posted it to their FB page and then note in the citation details that
it was posted on their FB page. (Assuming here that it's information
