I'd guess you just need to find the appropriate class. A google  
search for "MLA and LaTeX" might give you more info on that. I found  
this: http://www.walfield.org/pub/people/neal/mla/
And you can find some info related to the bibliography here: http:// 
web.reed.edu/cis/help/BibTeXstandard.html
I always just use the document classes article or amsart anyway, so I  
haven't looked much into it.

You might need to find an appropriate style sheet, or just create  
your own. Again, I don't mess around much with the layout, so you  
might have better chance asking at the tex list.

no need to apologize. I was the one apologizing in advance, for why I  
might not do such a screencast for a while.

There's a number of good books, you might consider getting your hands  
on one. Good for reference. Best thing is to just ask around when you  
want to do something particular.
