Frequently Asked Questions

Questions & Answers

Q: ~ My donors can't donate to the link that I provided.

A: ~ Chances are you aren't giving them the right link. It should look like this, (but with your name ~ first initial + last name at the end):

http://pages.teamintraining.org/los/la10/rjones   (Los Angeles Marathon)

http://pages.teamintraining.org/los/carlsbad10/rjones (Carlsbad ½ Marathon) ~   or

http://pages.teamintraining.org/los/mardigra10/rjones   (Mardi Gras Rock 'n' Roll 1/2 and Full Marathon) ~ depending on your event.

Q: ~ How do I edit my website?

A: ~ You must log in first here: http://etools.teamintraining.org/signin ~ (your username and password would be your initial + last name ~ unless you changed them) ~ Follow the prompts.

You can add a photo and customize your website to tell what you are doing and to ask them to donate.

You can update your website any time, and as often as you like. Keep it up to date so your donors can check on your progress.

You can use various styles (heading, large text, body text) to emphasize and organize your message.

You can also enter a link to a blog or wherever. Just select text and hit the link (chain) button. Some people update their page weekly with a log of their training progress.

Photos fit in best if they are 300 pixels across or narrower. Definitely not more that 500 pixels wide or the page format is affected.

Q: ~ What link do I give to my donors?

A: ~ Your link was given to you in your confirmation email when you registered.
