Important Note

• The MLA handbook includes many different rules
  for how to cite websites based on both the type
  of site and the information available. This
  example is only one of those many. Until the
  updated version is released in 2008, I would
  recommend being very careful when citing
  websites, and try to use the handbook or speak
  with your professor.
