Hi, and thanks for your interest in serving your club with regard to FreeToastHost (FTH). A few points of yours to comment on:
1. ". . . prior experience with HTML and general website management is needed for this role." Needed? No. Helpful? I guess. I hand code in HTML all the custom pages for my club's, but I have always hand coded my HTML files. FTH, you likely know, has a built-in editor which removes the need for one having HTML experience. As far as "general website management" goes, you would not be doing any IT techie kind of stuff unless your club opts for a custom domain and you're the lucky one to set that up. But even that is not an insurmountable hurdle.
2. "I would like to serve as the backup website administrator for my club" Just so you are aware, there is no backup admin recognized by FTH, so you and the primary admin would presumable share the admin login password, but only ONE of you can be registered in the system as the FTH administrator.
3. "Could you please let me know if there are any available training sessions, resources, or tutorials - especially any free training offered by FreeToastHost or Toastmasters International - that would help me get prepared?" FreeToastHost has very good online documentation (see
support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/documentation-index
), so that's the obvious primary resource. There is no link whatsoever between FreeToastHost and Toastmasters International, other than the fact that Toastmasters are involved in both, so don't look for FTH resources there as there are none. One or more FTH ambassadors have put together some videos showing various aspects of operation--not sure if it's admin-related or not--so let us hope that he/they chime in on this conversation thread in the near future.
I hope that helps. Best wishes!
