Wikipedia does not need to be in italics like other reference resources because it has never been in print. Well known reference sources often do not appear in a bibliography or references list, none the less an example has been included. Also, consider including a last modified date in your citation since Wikipedia articles are edited frequenty.

Blogs
Citations to a blog include the author, the post's title in quotes, the blog's title or name in italics, the date of the post, and its URL. If the blog is part of larger publication, its title is to be included after the blog's name, in italics, and then followed by a comma. Also, bibliography entries are optional when citing a blog. The documentation can appear in text or notes.
Note that since the blog's name in the example below includes the word blog, there is no need to add the word blog in parentheses after its name.
