You were always worried about your precious blog posts getting lost if the provider chose to shut the shop some day. Worry no more… Greg Duncan has created a free blogger backup software which is extremely easy to use.

With Blogger Backup, you can backup your blog posts into a single file or one blog post per file or multiple posts per file. The future versions may even save your blog posts into PDF files that you can distribute as eBooks.

Blogger backup can download everything or you can do incremental backups meaning backup just the new posts since your last backup or download blog posts posted between any two given dates.  Best of all, Blogger Backup can also extract and save your Blog readers comments offline.

Google Picasa is more than just a simple photo editing and management software. You can edit the pictures and create collages out of them. Its very easy and elegant solution for all your photo editing needs. One of the less-known feature of Picasa is Photo Albums.
