==The Rules==
The rules of punctuation when using conjunctive adverbs vary depending on the placement and use of the adverb.
There are three main variations:
<ol>
  <li>If the adverb separates two independent clauses, the structure is as follows:
[Clause1][;][adverb][,][clause2].</li>
  <li>If the adverb falls anywhere within a single independent clause, the structure is as follows:
[Adverb][,][clause]. '''or''' [Beginning of clause][,][adverb][,][end of clause]. '''or''' [Clause][,][adverb] ("Using Conjunctive Adverbs" 2012).</li>
  <li>If the adverb creates a weak interruption within a sentence, no commas are necessary (Simmons 2013).</li>
</ol>
