Introduction
This is the standard for documentation used in this blog.
Discussion
Citing
This is the citing standard used in the blog. Citing in the text follows this pattern:
Some sentence (AuthorSurname1 & AuthorSurname2 Year:FromPage-ToPage).
Example: Writers should be credited for their work and their writing (Hillard 2004).
or
AuthorSurname1 & AuthorSurname2 (Year:FromPage-ToPage) some sentence.
Example: Hillard (2004) says that writers should be credited for their work and their writing.
There exists at least as many citing standards as there are university faculties in the world, so I'm relying instead on tables when writing reference lists. References follows this pattern:
Usually, I write from the top of my head. However, I also try my best to check the facts. This is sometimes difficult to do, and if a citation is missing but needed, this will be written as "(citation needed)".

- Introduction
- What problem was studied?
- Program (Methods)
- How was the problem studied? The program is the "materials" and "methods" used.
- Output (Results)
- What were the findings? The "results" obtained from running the program.
- Discussion
- What do these findings mean? A conclusion or a summary.
- Conclusion
- A conclusion or a summary.
- References
- Reference list.
- Resources
- Resources are sometimes added for more information elsewhere that could be of interest.
