I'm still working on figuring out exactly how to make the Chicago formatting work in my paper... To help me with my bibliography, I googled the Chicago formatting style, and I found a few links that have been pretty helpful for me:
The sample paper is especially useful - I'm attempting to model my thesis paper on that one. It's not the same, since my paper isn't really a research paper, and I have more web/electronic sources than the sample paper, but it's still really helpful in figuring out the finer points of the formatting, like the line spacing and such.
I chose to include the sources that I referenced, but did not cite directly, on my bibliography. I may remove them later but I think for the most part I'll just leave them in. My bibliography seems more complete with them.
I've been having serious issues with the citations in footnotes, though - and that's mainly because I don't know how to use footnotes. If I enter a citation in a footnote on one page, it shows up on every other page in my paper! I have no idea how to stop Word from doing that, either. This is something I wasn't anticipating, so I'll have to spend some more time figuring out how exactly to get around this problem.
