#2: Initial revision
**1) If piece is only printed:** I would footnote it, and put the full link at the bottom or at the end, depending on your piece. That being said, I would only use such a construction for citing sources, _not_ for jokey things like tvtropes as you have above. If mentioning the website is relevant to your text, then say it that way: * * * Some programs, like the Metasploit Project, allow users to launch security attacks with ease and comfort. This certainly puts them in the position of the respectable IT security specialists <sup>1</sup>. <sup>1</sup>[http://www.somewebsite.com/wishfulthinking.html](http://www.somewebsite.com/wishfulthinking.html) * * * (pretend the link is underlined, as apparently I can't make that happen on stackexchange :) ) **2) If the piece will ultimately be a PDF:** Underline the link and make it clickable in whatever program you're using (Word, InDesign, etc.).
