1. Grading Your Web Site... Curious about how your web site measures up? Take Agency.com's Immersibility Index test. You'll be asked to answer questions about functionality, content, usability and branding. Then you'll see the results compared to their benchmark. To quote Agency.com: "Very successful Web sites are not only brilliant functionally, or only amazingly designed, or only rich in information, or only easy to use, but rather an appropriate balance of all these elements." ... I've posted step-by-step directions in the Web Related section of PikeNet's Web Resources (left-hand column of home page).

2. CMBS Info at Fitch... Christian Green with the Independent Order of Foresters in Toronto, Ontario, Canada recommends Fitch IBCA. "This is a great site for CMBS-issue information, pre-sale reports, and a great portfolio section that allows you to track the latest news on the various CMBS Issues that you add to your basket." ... I've posted step-by-step directions in the Web Related section of PikeNet's Web Resources (left-hand column of home page).
