A free blogging tool for HR professionals

September 16th, 2005 · 7 Comments · Blogging · 5,053 views

Over the last few months I have been exchanging emails with James Farmer over several of his different projects all of which get me fired up.

One such project which I have borrowed the idea from is edublogs to create hrblogs.org a free blog tool for HR professionals! Over the last few weeks I have been setting the service up and now it is ready for use. hrblogs.org is a free blogging service for HR professionals that will provide Wordpress based blogs to anyone who works within the HR profession regardless of location. If you work as a generalist, manager, recruiter, industrial relation specialist, or remuneration and benefits, in fact any area of HR, hrblogs.org will enable you to establish a free blog. hrblogs.org uses Wordpress Multiuser, the multiuser version of Wordpress, which is not production software and therefore there might be minor bugs.

The features provided by hrblogs.org :

  • Fast, easy and free
  • Choice of user names
  • Use of a Wordpress blogging engine
  • Choice of WordPress themes (25 to choose from, more coming)
  • Upload photos (10MB of space)
  • and more…

Get blogging in minutes!

    Awesome idea, Michael. Here in the U.S., Monster has been working in partnership with the govt. to create a new .jobs area for employers. I really think these hierarchy affiliations make sense and applaud you for creating one for HR.

    Thanks for the support David. I am really just trying to provide the average HR professionals with a valid option other than blogger, paying for typepad or having to set up their own hosting environment.
