Creating A Google Site Footer
Google Site Footer
A footer is a section
that appears at the bottom of every page on a site and typically contains
information, such as a contact email address or phone number, that is useful or
applicable no matter which page your visitor is viewing. To add a footer:
- Select
Manage site from the "More actions" drop-down menu.
- Select
the Site layout tab.
- Click
"Change site layout."
- Check
the box next to Footer.
- Select
one of the two radio buttons under the Footer section to control
whether the footer's height is a specific number of pixels or is
automatically adjusted according to the size of the content inside the
footer.
- Click "OK."
- Click
"Save changes."
When you would like to
add or edit content in the footer, go back to the Site layout tab and
click edit footer content. You can then use the pop-up editor to add or
edit text, images, links and more. To preserve your changes, make sure to click
"OK" and then "Save changes."
While you add and customize your own footer, you
cannot edit the permanent site footer, a line of text that includes navigation
and access information for the site. This is to help you and your visitors
navigate and access the site.

APA CITATIONS FOR EBOOKS
APA CITATIONS FOR EBOOKS
Ebooks Without Page Numbers
PDF versions of books are fairly straightforward and usually
include all information needed for an in-text citation, especially page
numbers. Kindle, Nook, and iPad books usually do not have page numbers, which
makes direct citations difficult.
General consensus is to cite the chapter and paragraph
number where your direct quote appears, rather than the "location
number" assigned to the ebook. Location numbers can be arbitrary and can
vary depending on which version of the book you're viewing. Also, location
numbers are meaningless to anyone wanting to look up your citation who does not
have access to the same version you've used.
Example:
"The home study is the step in the adoption process
where the potential adoptive family gets a visit from the adoption agency in
which the agency assesses the house and gets to know the prospective
parents" (Kluck, 2010, Chapter 1, para. 33).
This in-text citation refers back to this entry in the works
cited list:
Kluck, T. (2010). Hello, I love you: Adventures in
adoptive fatherhood [Kindle
iPad version]. Retrieved
from http://www.amazon.com/
CITING EBOOKS : FOR REFERENCE LIST
Note: If the text has been converted to HTML, include the version
(e.g., EBSCO eBook, eBrary, Kindle DX, Kindle iPad). If it has been scanned in
its original format (e.g., Google Books), omit the version information but
include the publication information and the URL. If a DOI is given, use the DOI
instead of the URL.
Format:
Author’s Last Name,
Initials. (Year of publication). Title
of book [version]. Retrieved from http://xxxxxxxxxx
Example:
Kent, K. W. (2009). Rest: Living in Sabbath simplicity [EBSCO eBook version].Retrieved

A great site for understanding and citing Electronic
Resources.
