Remember:

Sometimes it's hard to find an author's name or other bibliographic elements on internet sites.

Use the abbreviations n.p. (no publisher/sponsor), n.d (no date), or n. pag. (no page number) if applicable.

If there is no author name available, start your citation with the next element, usually the title of the article.
