Help files have been updated

Written by Jane Atkinson on . Posted in Blog

When you need information on using your website, you need it in a hurry.

You don't always have the time to browse through help files. And I can think of more interesting things for weekend reading, anyway.

We've always had plenty of documentation and other help files on this website, but there's been a problem. They were in various places and not always easy to find. Especially when something has gone wrong and you really want to get it fixed a.s.a.p.

That's now been changed. There is one place to go for docs.

Some of the docs have been written from scratch. Others have been updated. Yet others have been used as is. The aim is to cover what you need to know to manage your FreeToastHost website.

But if you think that something important is missing, or it could be written more clearly, please let us know. Post a message in the Documentation feedback forum and tell us how it could be improved.

Introducing FreeToastHost 2.0

Written by Bo Bennett on . Posted in Blog

I can't believe that it's been almost 8 years since the launch of FreeToastHost.org.  Back then, in 2003, web-based technology was very different and I used what tools I had to create a system that did the trick.  But as we all know, 8 years in Internet time is like a lifetime in the real world.  In 2011, the technology is available to do some amazing things  Likewise, web browser technology is to the point where virtually all Internet users can take advantage of this technology.  When Toastmasters International had asked me to update the FreeToastHost platform with some new templates as part of the major re branding campaign, I felt like this would be giving a 1980 Toyota Camry a new coat of paint.  What I really wanted to do, was deliver them a Ferrari.  FreeToastHost 2.0 is the result.
