The news pages have a Chronicle Interactive icon that takes the reader back to the main page. This index featured a picture of each columnist in the banner section and a list of columns. It is not easy for the user to give feedback for a particular news story. While bylines are on pages, they are not hyperlinked. If a person wants to ask a question, he or she needs to go to the help section to find the reporter and not all reporters' names are listed.
Ads are on almost every page of the Web site.
On the front page and section index pages, there is a banner ad at the top and a small rectangular ad below the larger ad toward the right. These advertise various goods and services that are mainly local events or businesses. On individual stories, there are just the small rectangular ads on the left-hand side of the page. The majority of the ads are animated. There are no real advertisements on the news story pages.
