WordPress for Toastmasters*This is part of a series of How to Do X posts that explain how to perform discrete tasks with the WordPress for Toastmasters solution.
To add a role to a new or existing agenda document, click the Toastmasters Role button on the button bar.
Clicking that button will display a dialog that allows you to specify the type of Role this is.
The standard roles are listed on a dropdown list. You can also select “Custom” and type in the name of a role specific to your club, such as “Joke Master.”
The other options are:
- Count – the number of times the role should be displayed on the signup form and agenda. For example, you might set Count to 3 if you plan to have 3 speakers.
- Indent – a formatting command, indents the role slightly.
- Agenda Note – an explanatory note associated with the role, displayed on the agenda but not the signup form.
- Total Time Allowed – blocks out required time on the agenda. Can be used to warn if long speeches will consume more time than you planned for.
- Extra Time – adds a buffer, for example for transitions between speeches.
When you save your choices, a blue placeholder image will appear in the WordPress editor. To change your choices, double-click on the placeholder image and the dialog will be displayed again.
Here is what the signup form note would look like with signups for a Toastmaster of the Day and multiple Speaker roles.
And here is what the printable agenda looks like with a minimal setup.
