Referencing in a Website

Which Style do I Use?

[Vetteman]

I have a content website about many historic financial crises. I am writing more articles and expanding my site and I am learning the virtues of adding references to the authors of who I learn from.

My problem is that there are a million and one referencing methods! There is the APA, Chicago, Harvard and MLA to name a few. Which style should I use, being that I'm writing historical content as well as information about today's economy/markets?

Thanks!

MLA is pretty good because it preserves the reading flow. This is probably why MLA is the dominant (and usually only) style used in college.

APA for all Psychology and general Sociological use.

Most historians use the Chicago method of footnotes and/or endnotes.
