Well, I tried to ping him for you, but I see it didn't come in as a link, so I'm thinking it didn't work.

You used the paragraph number and cite it like this:

(OpenStudy, 2012, para. 12)

Also, be sure that if you are citing an online article, that you cite the author not the site unless there is no author listed. Examples: 

Article: Soaring gas prices threaten to cripple the economy by Ben Mako on the ABC News website.

(ABC News, 2012, para. 2) - WRONG
(Mako, 2012, para. 2) - RIGHT
