For a passing reference to a website in text, the URL is sufficient; no reference list entry is needed.
Gussie Fink-Nottle has set up a discussion forum for newt fanciers (http://gfnnfg.livejournal.com/).
However, when you are citing a particular document or piece of information from a website, include both a
reference list entry and an in-text citation. The key to creating the reference list entry is to determine the type
of content on the web page. Basically, provide the following four pieces of information:
