Main Site
The main site (the page that is loaded when you first visit www.BankBryanCave.com), will always give you the latest news from the Bryan Cave Financial Institutions Group. The latest post will always be at the top.
At the end of each new post, it will also tell you which Category that post is in, as well as give several Tags that can help you find related posts. By clicking on either the Category or any of the Tags, you will be taken to a new page that lists all of the posts in that Category or with the same Tag.
You can subscribe to receive daily updates by email by entering your email address into the “Subscribe for Updates” box on the right hand side of the page. If you subscribe, you will receive an email each day containing any new posts to the website. (We will not use the email addresses provided for any other purpose, and you may easily unsubscribe by clicking on the link provided in each email.)
Menu Bar
Along the top of the site, you will find two lines of menus. The first line directs you to certain key pages of the website, such as the TARP Capital FAQ and a page to easily Contact Us.
In the second menu, you will find shortcuts to certain Categories that we believe are particularly relevant at the time. By clicking on any of these Categories, you will be taken to a new page that lists all of the posts in that Category, allowing you to focus the website on the Category that you’re interested in.
At the far right end of the Categories bar, you should also find a Search box where you can search for any specific words on the website.
Side Bar
Along the right hand side of the site, you will find several useful shortcuts. After our welcome message is an orange button to subscribe to the site’s RSS feed. This allows you to follow new posts on the site through any feed reader, such as Google Reader.
The side bar then sub-divides into two columns. The left column contains a list of all of the pages and categories on the site (these lists are complete lists, unlike the lists on the top of the page, which only show the highlights). In addition, there are several other links to websites that we believe may be useful to you.
The right column provides the ability to subscribe to receive daily emails containing any new posts to the website, a brief listing of Upcoming Events, as well as an easy way to access older posts to the website.
Why are We Providing This Site?
A central premise of our Financial Institutions Group is and has been that sharing information among our attorneys creates significant intellectual power and value for our clients and each other. This website lets us share our knowledge, our thoughts, our ideas and our speculations about TARP and its future implications directly with our clients and friends and in real time.
Most importantly, a web site can never substitute for personal contact and real discussions, and we are not in any way suggesting that this site will replace our normal conversations with clients-nor do we want it to do so! We are always available to discuss your specific situations and questions. We know each of you has different issues, but we think having this information available to you and your team on a 24X7 basis will in the end make your jobs easier.
There is no fee of any sort connected with this site or its usage–it is another example of the many ways we try to give back to the industry that has been so good to us in so many ways. We hope you expect this kind of effort and contribution from us, because we have always considered our clients to be our partners in our industry. We hope you will continue to look to us in good times and bad.
