ok, does MLA format have to do with the whole paper, or is it just for citation.
I looked it up, but all i can find is citation stuff, but i also heard that it was a format for the whole paper.

In my experience, it is used to format the whole paper. (body, works cited, etc...)

It's for the entire paper. It's pretty strict and specific too.
If you haven't been provided a guideline, example paper, or instructions for MLA format, I suggest you pick up any number of books on the subject. Depending on your teacher your adhesion to the format could be a significant portion of your grade.

yeah, i probably should. Does any one know a good book (or webpage) on the guidelines? last time i just did the citation, but that was a much smaller paper that she probably didn't even read.

a google search for MLA footnotes will bring back a few good sites, thats what i always do. but for the lazy, check out the citation machine. i dont know how good it is/accurate though
