| − | == Why this website is so frustrating == |
||
| − | This website would be fabulous -- if only it were finished! |
||
| − | The trouble is, I'm just one guy with a Mac, and I don't know it all. |
||
| − | But I know some of it, and so do you. I've added the bits I know. What about you? |

| − | For more info, click on the "help" link on the left of this page. |
||
| + | You may use the search field to search the content of this wiki for the topic you have in mind. The search field is located at the top of each page; it is labeled “Search this wikia”. Or you may wish to browse the wiki by clicking on one of the Categories at the bottom of this page. For instance, the category called “Speaking” will lead you to all aspects of speech making, while that called “Leading” does the same for leadership training. |
||
| − | To get you started, here are some FAQs. |
||
| − | * Doesn't it compete with Toastmasters International? Well, no it doesn't. I can't find anything about being a successful Toastmaster on that site. It's a fabulous site for managing clubs, but it's not that useful in many ways. Look at this site, look at the TMI site and make up your own mind. |
||
| − | * How do you control who puts stuff up? The answer is, I don't. If somebody changes a page, I get an e-mail (you can too, by clicking the "Watch this Page option). If a vandal has vandalised the page I, (or you) can simply "roll back" the page to the previous version. No harm done. |
||
| − | * Who is allowed to change the site? Anybody. You. Me. Anybody. |
||
| − | * Who owns the site? We all do. I started it, but anybody with a browser owns it. |
||
| − | The word is Wikicity. Please spread the word. The more people know about the site, the more useful it becomes as a resource. |
||
