Citing from Websites (No Author)

Davidal

Hi, I need to cite from a website, but the article has no author. What do I put into Zotero? It asks for Last and First name, even though the reference is set up as website. If I left blank it says "Anon" in the citation,

If there is no author, leave the author field blank.

How such citations appear is controlled by the citation style. What style are you using?

Thanks. I am using Harvard. Griffith College Harvard

It's the in text citation I am having issues with. If it said the website's name and year would be fine.

Sorry, I missed your first response there. Are you actually at Griffith College, or are you just looking for any Harvard style?

If you are at Griffith college, do you have a link to a style guide indicating that the title should be used instead of Anon ?

I was at Griffith. Now with IT Sligo who also use Harvard (but have no Zotero style) and I found it was technically the same.

Here's an overview of the guideline I need to use

Is there any way I can fix this? I don't know how to edit styles though.

Those guidelines you linked to are for an Australian university.
We have a close match to that here: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:university-of-south-australia-2017-harvard

Not perfect, but with a few simple edits you'll have it.
That style will also give the title of the webpage if there is no author (very common way of dealing with such anonymous citations).
