Elements

Elements used in the first citation example include author, title, title of container, publication date, location (website address), and the accessed date as a final supplemental item. The link to this page no longer takes you to the article, so the accessed date establishes when this content was viewed.

Elements used in the second citation example include author, title, title of container, publication date, location (website address), and title of container 2.

To cite a comment on a blog post or article, include the name of the commenter, if available, and “Comment on” before the title of the article and the URL of the comment, not the post.
