==== I found some information on MLA style for in-text citation by going to a credible online source. Writing in MLA format means using the author-page method for print resources, but online sources often don't have page numbers. In this situation, use 'signal words' to make your in-text citation. Signal words should match the first thing used to identify your source in the Works Cited list, so your reader can find it ("MLA In-Text Citations"). ====

====//With this citation, you know I am referring to a website or online article, with the title "MLA In-Text Citations." You know this because I included the title in quotes and no page number in a citation included with the text. There isn't an author for the article. You can find that resource by checking my Works Cited List, and finding the entry identified by the title. The sentence punctuation comes after the parentheses. //====
