<p>Learn to love that website for all MLA/APA formats.</p>

<p>I’ll tell you how I’ve seen footnotes done before, at least the way my uncle did them in his college papers. I’ve done MLA formats but no footnotes as of yet in college.</p>

<p>You would follow the format whether MLA or APA.</p>

<p>So let me show you a way it would be used in MLA:</p>

<pre><code> blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah…That’s the story of Roberto Reyes who now works for Allied Waste Services in a recycling plant (1)… blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
</code></pre>

<p>Of course I’m using a web article. Depending on the source you are using it would change. At least that’s how I look at it. Footnotes are like endnotes are like citations. If you can do citations then you shouldn’t have any problems doing footnotes or endnotes (realize that endnotes are different than footnotes in that source gets cited at the end of the work not at the bottom of the page).</p>
