Getting to the Source

I have never really understood how to write or keep sources. What information do I use? Are different sources formatted differently? Do I use the source for the person, or each piece of information about the person? and the list went on and on and on, but I digress.
I know that Roots Magic has some free webinars on different genealogical subjects on their website.I've been meaning to go there and see what is available. Yesterday was finally that day, and what do you know, but they had a presentation on sources. It was an hour and a half, taught by Bruce Busbee, President and CEO of Rootsmagic. He also helped to create the program. It was very helpful. I know that it will make me a better genealogist and when someone asks me where I found something I will be able to tell them.
I just want to tell Roots Magic if they are reading this, thanks for supporting the community you serve!
