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.
sounds like a great idea Michael… hope it takes off.
best of luck, and let me know if any tools from SimplyHired that we could help provide.
