Constant Content

Hi, I have a few questions on acceptable writing conventions. I have written an article on some American historical policies. In the article I have quoted noted individuals from those times as well as current statistics on the impact these policies have made on various social groups. What is the correct citation format for this type of writing? And is this sort of writing suitable for this venue?

I also noticed you have separate areas selling blog entries and articles, how are these different? And is there an advantage one has over the other?

Thanks in advance...Candace
