Migrating to FTH4

Your club admin received the instructions to update their admin password to access FTH4. (FTH3 admin passwords will NOT work in FTH4). Follow the instructions in the email and use 'Member sign in' in the top right corner to access the Club Admin account.

If you are not sure who the club admin is, in your member account; look at 'Club Officers and Members' > "Club Email addresses". The LAST item in this list is the person who is currently listed as your club admin.

If this is not correct, please complete and submit this form to change your club admin:

Steve, Greetings! Hope you are doing great!

Thanks for the reply.

I think PDF viewer would be an awesome idea. I do work with few PDF viewers (just refer to github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/ )in my projects. If you want me to test with PDFviewer and get the feedback from my club members, I can do that.

Actually, in our website I have integrated WhatsApp. I meant I have given hyperlink of the VPE and VPM phone number. If a guest clicks it will take them WhatsApp.
These days most of us operating a mobile browser, so guest directly can message to VPM's or VPE's WhatsApp.

But one thing I noticed, most of the members are not opening website frequently. How to make members to use website extensively. I agree club officers are using.

Sometimes, I think if we integrate Facebook with Toastmaster website, members can log in and post a message to facebook through Toastmaster website. Every club has their own facebook account. only that club account post lets integrate.
In this case members login frequency will increase.

In this case, if we think in wide angle how many of our Toastmaster members will configure to integrate Facebook with Toastmaster club website.. It's a big question mark..

So... some responsive layout / mobile support is coming... be patient. ;)

As far as getting your members to use the website, here are some things I have learned over time:

1. Many members tend to think of websites as mostly a marketing tool. The meeting agenda is about the only thing they will log in to use.

2. Many members *hate* logging in. You need to carefully consider what information you will make public (no log in required) for your members benefit vs requiring them to log-in to access.

3. Anything you put on the website for members use/benefit will require some consistent and regular PR. I have had meeting forms (Word docs) stored on my club's website for many years, but they still keep asking where are the meeting forms.

4. Bottom Line: You must be able to answer the question "What's in it for me?" for your members to use the website. Most people are deluged by so much information that they are making value judgments about what information to ignore and what information to pay attention to. If you want your members to use your website, it must be valuable to them and it must be easy for *them* to use.

5. Another thing... remember that FreeToastHost is not just the website... it is also an email list server. You should consider the list server as an extension of the website in some ways. Some members will respond to an email containing a convenient link that you want them to click more readily than you asking them to go to the website. This lesson is one that I learned and why I updated the agenda emails to contain optional meeting role sign-up links.

Dear Steve, So excited to hear about mobile layouts.
Eagerly waiting for that.

Nice view on the members to use the website.

If you want to look into something related to our FreeToastHosty websites enhancements, please let me know.
I can do the exercise in the offline.
