Weblog entries and comments
Notes-bibliography style: citing specific types of sources
Part II. Source Citation

To cite an entry posted on a Weblog (or blog) by the author of the site, follow the basic pattern for Web sites. Include the author's name and the date of the posting. Such items should usually be cited only in a note. You generally need not include them in your bibliography, although you may choose to include a specific item that is critical to your argument or frequently cited.

To cite a comment posted on a Weblog by someone other than the author of the site, follow the basic pattern for Weblog entries. Identify the material as a comment, and include the date when the comment (not the entry itself) was posted. If the comment author's name is incomplete or a pseudonym, add pseud. in brackets after the posted name.
