TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

On the matter of Toastmasters:
I've been attending a corporate Toastmasters group, and I love it! After you
finish the core certificate, there is a curriculum for technical
presentations in the advanced communication series.
Perhaps of interest to other techwhirlers . . .
