This lesson will help you lay the foundation for your success by making sure you get access to various online resources, including Toastmasters International, Easy Speak, and so on. You'll also take steps to get setup with a mentor and decide your goals.
5. FreeToastHost Setup
If your club uses FreeToastHost (FTH) as its main meeting planning site, you'll need to make sure you can login to it.
Make sure you add the domain "toastmastersclubs.org" to your e-mail spam whitelist filters (may be known as a "safe sender" list). This will allow e-mails to come from your FTH site.
You should receive an e-mail from your club's FTH site when you are setup. If you do not, contact your club's point of contact for your FTH site and have them verify your e-mail.
On the home page of your site, there is a button on the sidebar that has "Member Login". Select this.
Once you do this, you'll see a login screen appear.
Follow the directions there, then use Authenticate / Login to get signed in. If you don't have your password, just fill in the Email, Name, or Username field, then select Authenticate / Login to have the system send you your password.
The Members Only section will now have active links. You'll want to use the Edit Your Profile link, as shown here:
In the window that appears, make sure your information is correct.
As with other sites, make sure you bookmark or favorite the site, and save your login information into a program like KeePass.
