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!

Congratulations, Mike. Good luck.
Thanks Michael
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.
This is fantastic. Your operation will be global quickly. Very, very smart.
