But it's not that hard to note down what the citation for an electronic source is from the style guide, or just let software like EndNote do it for you. The big gain would be in undergraduate essays. I've marked a few recently that cite blog articles and they're pretty inconsistent with that citation - even with style guides. You could always publish (on demand) your blog thoughts as a book too. I see that's been done here: http://www.lulu.com/kester Opens up the door to those celebrity signing engagements :-) True.

Everyone should get it though. It'd help me if all would do it. Applying the thousand monkeys principle, we know that there are so many people like me out there that one day at least one of their posts would wind up in a univeristy paper somewhere in the world.

Get one of those old style brown leather briefcases, a pocket-protector for your pens, and a pipe that you use to make emphatic points - jabbing it at undergraduates as you demolish their arguments, before disappearing into an impenetrable fug of pipe smoke. Anyway, the plug-in is really über-geeky - I'm jealous. Now you just need a plug-in that tracks Google Scholar and displays a count on the blog of the number of citations of said articles.
