The Chicago citation style has two variants, the Notes and Bibliography format and the Author-Date format. Examples for both formats are included for every example.
Different disciplines that utilize the Chicago style may prefer one format over the other. Ex. History will typically prefer the Notes and Bibliography format while Biology will typically prefer the Author-Date format.
If you are unsure which format to use for your citations, consult with your instructor on their preference.
Depending on the type of website or page being cited and its content, if the site has a single author consider citing it as a weblog (or blog).
For more information on blogs in bibliography/notes see pgs. 846-47. For author-date, see pgs. 916-17.
