Newbie Question on Source/Citation Text/Citation Detail

$

I've recently moved to FTM 2011 and - looking over the data I imported from my previous genealogical work - I see that I have not been consistent in my handling of sources. I want to redo these source but I'm a bit confused about what constitutes (1) the source (2) source citation and (3) citation detail

My question of the moment is this:

If, for instance, I have multiple citations to hertigagequestonline census images: e.g.

Example 1:
www. heritagequestonline.com. Digitized Census Images from National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, D.C. published on-line by HeritageQuestOnline.com,1860 US Census, IL, Carroll Co., Mt Carroll Population Schedule, Household: George Ashby, Film: Series M563_159 Page: 1058

Example 2:
Digitized Census Images from National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, D.C. published on-line by HeritageQuestOnline.com 1870 US Census, OR, Marion County, Sublimity Population Schedule, Household: George Ashby, Film: Series M593 Roll: 1287 Page: 104,

For both examples, should the source be:

www. heritagequestonline.com. Digitized Census Images from National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, D.C. published on-line by HeritageQuestOnline.com

Should the citation text for example 1 be:

1860 US Census, IL, Carroll Co., Mt Carroll Population Schedule, Household: George Ashby, Film: Series M563_159 Page: 1058

Should the citation detail for example 1 be:

George Ashby, age 37, farmer, b. Canada
Mary Ashby, age 26, b. Canada
Susanna, age 13, b. IL
Robert, age 10, b. IL
Catherine, age 8, b. IL
Sarah, age 7, b. IL
Mary, age 4, b. IL

I realize that these questions are elementary, but I'm willing to learn.

Thanks,

Wes
