Hello!
I am working on a project in my English class with 3 other classmates (it's a group project).
Our project is called Survival Guide 101, and we are to make a mini book about survival.

I have trouble with our 'works cited' page because I do not know the following things of this website:
- Author's last and first name.
- Organization.

Thank you! :)
btw, it is due tomorrow (18 Dec 07), but our teacher told us today that the listed above are requiered in our bibliography.

XX - I don't know what specific requirements your instructor has given you but here is the MLA citation format for citing the forum postings:

Name of Site. Date of Posting/Revision. Name of institution/organization affiliated with the site (sometimes found in copyright statements). Date you accessed the site [electronic address].

Wilderness-Survival.net. Forums. December 17, 2007. Jalic Inc. December 17, 2007.<http://www.wilderness-survival.net>

If you wish to cite a specific posting, use the following example:

Wilderness-Survival.net. Defining Survival. December 12, 2007. Jalic Inc. December 17, 2007. <http://www.wilderness-survival.net>

I hope that helps.

Our teacher told us to put it in MLA Format, but she says that we have to include who made the website/book, and etc.

So, yeah. :)

That would be true for a book, periodical, or article. However, a webmaster is rarely identified on a web site by name. If you were citing an article or post by an individual, then you could site that persons name (if identified) or logon, which will be displayed. The examples I provided above would be proper for MLA style.

I wish I could help you further.
