When I went back into my blogs it didn’t take me much time to figure out I didn’t know what I was doing at the time. In my first blog I cited a work by simply giving the website and nothing else. Other than that though my previous cites for journals were pretty decent. Where I ran into a problem was citing websites. I had to go into a website on APA formatting and find the correct way. So blog 5 needed quite a bit of work because I had to go back and find all the articles online again to see what dates were given, and then plug-in the correct data.
