After the statement, hit the "cite web" option in the pull down menu. The dialogue box will come out. Fill in every box! The first is for the writer's name - Last and then First. The next box down is the title of the article; opposite is the URL for where you found the article on the web. Next row: fill in the date of the article and then the publication it appeared in. The last box you need to fill out is for the access date -- if you hit the icon on the right side of the bar it'll default to the current date.
