Sure; the cite web template is really helpful. There are some parameters, which I'll detail below.

First is url, and it's basically just a link to the information. It is required for the template to function.

Next is title, and it's what displays as a clickable link to the source information. Like url, it is also required.

All other parameters are optional, but helpful; author tells who posted the information on the site where it was obtained, date tells when the information was posted, and accessdate tells when the information was accessed (in other words, when you opened the webpage last in order to look at the information). work is used for the site the information was posted on if the person posting the information is something akin to an admin there (such as Sethisto or any of the blog authors on Equestria Daily), while publisher is used for a site where that's not the case (such as any authors besides Knighty and the FIMFiction admins on that site) (or at least, that's how I try to use them). If you have any further questions about cite web, either click that link, or leave a message on my talkpage.

Then, for the references, all you need to do is put after its end. If you want to re-use the reference later in the article, you can name it; to do that, instead of that first ref tag, you'd put

This sentence's reference is re-used from above.

==References==

And that results in the following: This sentence will have a reference.

This sentence's reference will be re-used again.
