I found this great little kit to help web developers recreate their sites into iPhone format. The templates are already set up. All you have to do is copy/paste your content code and build simple menu structures. Then, set up a separate directory or subdmain on your server for the alternate site. I would use something like http://m.yourchurchsite.com or http://yourchurchsite.com/m

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!

On a similar note, there is a very nice wordpress plugin to make your wordpress blog iPhone friendly. Very easy to install, and pretty neat results.

Have you seen this? Very cool. Takes any RSS feed and turns it into an iPhone app. Takes about two minutes and they even submit it to the App store for you.
Would be cool to makes blogs such as this one an iPhone app.
It is still in Beta. They have a video demo on their website.

Great tip (and from the comments too)! You’ve been posting some really great information.
Now I just have to see if there’s a plugin for Joomla…
