It was created by zeeshanhasan, a small creative design studio based in Lahore, Pakistan. (I offshored the job only after suffering extreme disillusionment with several individuals stateside, and the [...]

Trying something new for the Blogroll

I’ve long had a very large and (hopefully) useful blogroll listing blogs on a wide variety of employment, labor, and HR topics.
Lately, it’s been sitting quietly on a separate page, visible only through a link at top right of this page. I did this because it had grown so large it would drag on [...]

A nice new blog; three excellent Web 2.0 apps

A little hodgepodge here. Four items that are related to each other only because they all recently joined my list of sites and tools for working the Internet to prepare this blog.
First, a new blog: Diversity Advantage.
Team-written, it promises:

Pros and Cons of Company-Sponsored Blogging

In a rather interesting “laundry list” approach, John Summers provides some thoughts about the pros and cons of company-sponsored recruiting blogs.
I think that his list of pros and cons applies to a wide-range of company-sponsored blogs, and both companies and bloggers should examine his list carefully before committing to such a blog.
Some of [...]

Today I was looking at a search list, and ran across some interesting ideas for posts I’ll try to prepare in coming days or weeks. Here [...]

A Great Educational Use of Blogging

Poking around to see who had linked here lately, I ran across a new blog started by a Professor Prenkert for a class at Indiana University.
The blog is entitled Work/Life/Law, and I’ve added it to my bloated blogroll.
The blog’s purpose is described as follows:

Blawg Update

Postings here have slowed down for several reasons.
Since Michael’s a professor, I’ll call his relative scarcity on these pages a sabbatical. He has more pressing matters, but he’ll still write when the spirit moves him, I hope.
Personally, I’ve got many other blog-related projects in the works.
