APA in blogs

If you need to us APA citations in blogs, you may find that you can't make the hanging indent work.

Your lecturer may be okay with this if you talk to them (especially if you aren't very technologically minded), but if you know a little about html code and want to make your reference lists look more professional, use the following code:

REFERENCES
<div style="padding-left: 4em; text-indent: -4em;">

<p>...first reference...</p>
<p>...second reference...</p>
<p>...etc...</p>
</div>

(with thanks to Moonflowerdragon, for making it nice and simple).

This will make your references look like this:
