This is a great resource for web designers who want to embed nice fonts in their web designs without infringing on the EULA agreements of popular fonts. Font Squirrel provides a list of dozens of free fonts to use on commercial websites. There is a nifty generator that helps you embed the fonts in your site as well. If you’re not a web designer, you can obviously use these fonts on print collateral as well. Enjoy!

The Instant Shift blog just posted a good selection of really nice free fonts. If you don’t know how to install fonts, check out DaFont’s FAQ page.
Here are a few samples:

Several months ago, I wrote a post about TruthCasting.com and their streaming service for churches. Several readers started using this great service. The only inhibitor for some was the new equipment purchase of a Mac Mini for the cost of $700.00. In reality, $700.00 for a one-time setup was extremely inexpensive compared to the monthly fees of other services. Included in the signup was unlimited and archived streaming of sermon video and audio. Now, the TC techs have put their heads together to get your message out on the web with no cost to you.
Let me give a quick refresher. Basically how TC works is as follows:
Once you’ve completed your upload, you can embed your sermon on your website. You don’t have to purchase a new Mac Mini all you need are the following system requirements for the free download.
Go to TruthCasting.com and sign up for a channel. It’s the easiest way I know of to get your content on the web and get your message to the world! Don’t you love free?

I’m very excited to announce the latest version of my new plugin for Wordpress. EasySMS installs right into the back-end admin panel and a simple sidebar form installs by dragging and dropping the widget on your sidebar. Once people start subscribing, you can categorize them in groups and send SMS messages right from Wordpress. Another cool feature is automatic SMS messages broadcast your lastest post (optional). I’m very excited about the possibilities for churches to keep in touch with their congregations and leaders right from their websites! The best part is it is FREE for the taking. So, what are you waiting for? Go over and grab yourself some Mister Nifty goodness for your website. If you don’t have a WordPress site, we feel sorry for you. Go get yourself one for free!

For Christmas this year I am giving two blessed Mister Nifty readers a free Flickr Pro account. This means unlimited uploads and intense photo sharing awesomeness. Flickr is a great way to centralize and host your church event photos, building tours, and much more. To enter, simply post a comment with your name, email (kept private) and either your church or personal website and your favorite web application combos you use at your church (Gmail, Toodledo, Twitter, etc…). On December 25th, my highly complex, personally programmed algorithm will choose two names. Just kidding, my lovely wife will draw two names out of a recycled paper bag and viola, someone will have happy Flickr goodness for Christmas.
