To cite a person that you interviewed yourself, you put just the last name of the person you are quoting, referring it to the appropriate entry in your Works Cited list.
Personal Interview “Growing up in poverty really made me the sympathetic person that I am today” (Burgess).

Your related Works Cited entry will look like either one of these:
E-mail Interview Burgess, Carl. E-mail interview. 3 Feb. 2000.
TTY Interview Burgess, Carl. TTY interview. 3 Feb. 2000.

Smith, John. Personal interview. 17 April 2006.

According to MLA style, you must have a Works Cited page at the end of your research paper. Works Cited page preparation and formatting is covered in chapter 5 of the MLA Handbook, and chapter 6 of the MLA Style Manual. All entries in the Works Cited page must correspond to the works cited in your main text.
Basic Rules

* Begin your Works Cited page on a separate page at the end of your research paper. It should have the same one-inch margins and last name, page number header as the rest of your paper.
* Label the page Works Cited (do not underline the words Works Cited or put them in quotation marks) and center the words Works Cited at the top of the page.
* Double space all citations, but do not skip spaces between entries.
* List page numbers of sources efficiently, when needed. If you refer to a journal article that appeared on pages 225 through 250, list the page numbers on your Works Cited page as 225-50.
* If you’re citing an article or a publication that was originally issued in print form but that you retrieved from an online database, you should provide enough information so that the reader can locate the article either in its original print form or retrieve it from the online database (if they have access).

Should I use underlining or italics?

How many spaces should I leave after a period or other concluding mark of punctuation?

How do I create the indention that the MLA shows for a works-cited list?

If a title begins with a numeral, how should the title be alphabetized?

When I borrow repeatedly from the same source, how should my parenthetical citations appear?

How do I document sources from the Web in my works-cited list?

Why does the MLA recommend putting angle brackets around URLs in the works-cited list?

My word processor omits angle brackets and turns URLs into links in my works-cited list. Is that OK?

I am using a source on the Web that has no page numbers. How do I cite it?

Does the MLA offer templates or software for formatting papers?

I responded with the following suggestions:

1. just walk up to the person, tell them who you are and what you’re
doing, and just ask point blank if they would be willing to talk to you.
2. approach the person with a friend that you KNOW this person knows.
Use the friend as a way to lay the ground work and make the person feel
more comfortable and willing.
4. Have the friend approach the person first, maybe even ask the person
for you.
5. Approach the person talk with them a little bit so they get to know
you, but don’t ask them about the interview. Then the *next* time you
see them, approach them again, but this time, ask them about the interview.

What do you think of these suggestions? Do you have some of your own?

This is how you add a picture to your blog.

Go to the “Write Post” page.
On the bar that has all the tabs (b, i, link, b-quote etc) go to the tab that says “img”. Click on it.
You will then get a prompt asking for the URL to the image you want to add. If you have found the image online, put the URL in there.
Click ok.
And that’s it!

If you have your own picture, you will need to upload it.

First, go down to the section below the posting area where it says “Upload” and “Video”.
There, click browse.
Find the file you want to add (which will need to be cropped by you to fit your blog)
Click upload.
You will then have choices on how you would like to present the picture. Click your choices and then click “Send to Editor”. The program will add in all the necessary HTML code for you and send it to your post!
