Website
A citation to website content can often be limited to a mention in
the text or in a note (“As of July 19, 2008, the McDonald’s Corporation
listed on its website . . .”). If a more formal citation is desired, it
may be styled as in the examples below. Because such content is subject
to change, include an access date or, if available, a date that the site
was last modified.

more formal versions of the citations. There is no need to add pseud. after an apparently fictitious or informal name. (An access date is required, see examples elsewhere in this guide.)

E-mail and text messages may be cited in running text (“In a text
message to the author on March 1, 2010, John Doe revealed . . .”)

following example shows the more formal version of a note.
