New: Facebook Like Button!

Released today, you will now see a ‘Facebook Like’ widget in Website Designer 2.0. Once added to your site, a Like button will appear, which visitors can simply click on to add your website link and club info to their Facebook wall. A prompt will appear to sign into the visitor’s Facebook account, after which they will be able to add a comment that will accompany the post. The widget will then update automatically to reflect this action by displaying the number of ‘likes’ your website has received, which is an excellent way to promote your site and increase traffic using the Facebook network. It’s that easy!

#56) Did you know that there is an easy and automatic way to get your login name and password if you are a new ClubRunner user or have forgotten your login credentials?


To retreive your password:
1) Click on the "Login" tab

2) On the Members Login page, click on the link "Forgot your password?"

3) On the Get Password page, type in your last name and email address.

4) Click on "Get Login Info"

Our system will perform a security check by matching the last name submitted with the email address provided. If the email address we have on file (either inputted by your club director or imported from the District) is different from the one you provide, this method will not work. In this case, you will have to get your username and password from ClubRunner Support.
