BibTeX and LaTeX in TeXShop OS X

1. create a file (e.g. cites.bib) that will contain the cites
2. create a cite in cites.bib (you may use http://www.interaction-design.org/citation-maker/ as the simple solution)
   e.g.

   @misc{bibAndTex,
     AUTHOR = {cb0},
     TITLE = {BibTeX and LaTeX in TeXShop OS X},
     PUBLISHER = {cb0},
     ADDRESS = {Leipzig},
     YEAR = {2009},
   URL = {http://0xcb0.wordpress.com},
   note = {This is an electronic document. http://0xcb0.wordpress.com
              Date retrieved: Feburay 22, 2009. Date last modified: Feburay 22, 2009},
   url = {http://0xcb0.wordpress.com},
   }

3. Insert the following 2 lines at the desired place of your bibliography

   \bibliography{cites}{}

   \bibliographystyle{plain}

   cite is the reference to the created cites.bib

4. cite it somewhere

   \cite[see cb0's Blog]{bibAndTex}

5. Save all changes
6. set Latex
   
7. set BibTeX
   
   output should start with sth. like this
   
8. 2 times step 6 for correct numbering of all cites
9. look at the results

   [caption id="attachment_46" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="the cite in the text"][/caption]

   [caption id="attachment_45" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="the cite in the bibliography"][/caption]

10. enjoy
