Random Goodness 
Keep track of what the web is saying about your church or you personally by signing up for Google Alerts. Plug in some keyword searches to track. It’s easy! http://google.com/alerts/
If you record your services on CD chances are the audio is broken up into tracks. For those who don’t record digitally, this is a problem when trying to create a podcast. Now you can take all of those annoying little tracks and combine them into one with Merge MP3. Grab it here. (via Lifehacker)
If you use Wordpress, you will want to grab All In One Search Engine Optimization pack. This adds a tab below each page/post that allows you to create a unique title/description/keywords for each post entry. This is important stuff for search engines to rank your pages. Grab it here!
