There's a brand-spanking-new, baby-powder-blue edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, hitting the shelves (and the webs) by the end of this month. My inner citationologist is a-quiver from footnote to header. Word on the street is that the CMS is encrusted with jewels no less coruscating than this, for the quoters-of-blogs: "There is no need to add pseud. after an apparently fictitious name of a commenter; if known, the identity can be given in the text or in the citation (in square brackets)."
MLA and Harvard, eat my shorts.

NYT reviewer described its cover colour as toothpaste blue - what happened to the find it no matter how messy your desk orange?
What kind of toothpaste do those NYT people use, is what I want to know. As for the CMS peops, maybe, what with the Guantanamo-Bay-orange Popular Penguins, they figured it was time for some serious product differentiation.
There once was a blogger called pseud
Who liked writing posts in the neud
But he didn't tell
Which is just as well -
A neud pseud's a reud pseud to preuds.
Treu.
