New Examples:

This is a fun movie -- Shakespeare's play set in Japan!

http://brycehoward.org/?page_id=301   

For this one,  I couldn't find the full name of the person who has created it, just Mel, so I filled in what information I could.
Unknown, Mel. "Adoring Bryce Dallas Howard - bryce-howard.com." Adoring Bryce Dallas Howard - bryce-howard.com. Fan Sites Network/Mel, n.d. Web. 6 Feb. 2012. .


http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0397171/bio

For the IMDb site, I added just the author and the copyright date.  I couldn't find a last-updated date, so I used the most recent copyright date.  Here is the bibliography entry Bibme created:
"Bryce Dallas Howard - Biography." The Internet Movie Database (IMDb). IMDb.com, Inc. , n.d. Web. 6 Feb. 2012. .

Examples: 

This is the URL I entered on bibme.org: http://www.trelease-on-reading.com/paulsen.html
I added the sponsor and the date created -- the most recent copyright date.

This is the bibliographic entry that was created: 
Trelease, Jim. "Gary Paulsen-author profile-p.1." Jim Trelease's Home Page. Jim Trelease and Reading Tree Productions, n.d. Web. 31 Jan. 2012. . 

For SIRS DISCOVERER or World Book Online, you don't have to use a bibliography-maker.  The citations are already made for you.  You'll usually find them at the bottom of the page for the article, and often they are marked "MLA." 
The two sources that I found on SIRS DISCOVERER already had bibliographic entries, which I just copied to my Research on the Internet Page.  Here they are:

Gary Paulsen (1939 - )." SIRS Discoverer. Oct. 29 2002: n.p. SIRS Discoverer. Web. 27 Jan 2012.

Bieselin, Robert. "Novelist Gary Paulsen Talks About His Drive to Continue to Write..." The Record (Hackensack, NJ). 08 Apr 2010: n.p. SIRS Discoverer. Web. 27 Jan 2012.
