Create Your Own Social Network

logo.gifThis is a neat tool I just discovered through a social network I was invited to.  Using Ning, you can create your own cool social network for FREE.  You can style however you wish and manage who is able to join.  I see the value of this for youth groups and other ministry groups who want to connect with groups of people.  This is also a great way to create a clean social environment for your youth as an alternative to other networks out there.  Check it out for yourself!

Design Business Cards Online

Many times budget issues keep smaller churches from hiring a graphic designer who knows about commercial printing.  Deyey takes the guesswork out of designing business cards.  Use their WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) editor to position all of your information and then download a high resolution file that you can send straight to your commercial printer.  The best part is it's free!

Convert Powerpoints To Flash
