All of the tips are good, and some are fun, but in the end, some people are natural speakers and others will never be comfortable in front of a crowd.
Generally, as Newagegreek pointed out, things get easier the more speaking you do -- and experience may be the only real way to get better at it.
One thing to realize is that most of the folks in the audience harbor the same feelings that you do, and are willing to overlook your nervousness -- and the chances are that they don't really know how your stomach is turning and knees are shaking. Another is that even professional speakers sometimes have perpetual stage fright. They've just learned to cover it well.
