Some information from my website will be based on what I know as well as researched information for reputable resources...what is the appropriate way to cite this information?<

Thanks FHagstrom, this has helped me as well!

It depends on how you are using the content.
If you are researching and then writing everything in your own words, you can make a list of your sources at the end of your article, linking out to the pages you found your info on.

You could make specific words anchor text and link out to the article itself.

If you use exact quotes, you can use the blockquote and list the source directly under the quote or at least separate a direct quote using quotation marks and indenting a bit from the other content.

Thanks! This was what I thought I should do.
