For this project, you'll have to capture the "Image URL" for pictures that you want to put into your Timeline. This is different from the URL of the page on which an image is displayed!
In general, here are the steps you'll follow to capture the correct URL:
Put a full citation into the "Media Credit" box in the spreadsheet.
Example: Image of cat. 2016, img1.wsimg.com/fos/sales/cwh/8/images/cats-with-hats-shop-06.jpg.
Cite your sources in text as usual. If you have any citations, then at the end of the text put a full bibliography entry enclosed in Paragraph tags. (You do NOT need to create hanging indents in web-based bibliographies.)
Example: <p>Piper, Andrew. “Rethinking the Print Object: Goethe and the Book of Everything.<em>PMLA</em>, vol. 121, no. 1, Jan. 2006, pp. 124-38. JSTOR, <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/25486292">www.jstor.org/stable/25486292</a>.</p>
