The basic format for a website looks like this:
Author, editor, or compiler. Title of page. Version Number. Institution or Organization affilitated with the site. Date of creation. Medium. Date of access.
A special consideration with websites is lack of information. Not all websites list an author, and sometimes figuring out a date for a website can be difficult. If you truly cannot find a piece of information it is alright to leave it out of your reference.
One last note about author names; the author's screen name or psueodonym is an acceptable substitute for a real name in the case of internet sources.
