\"BlueFur<\/a><\/p>\n

Gary Jones from BlueFur<\/a> contacted me today about a new project they’re working on call BlueFur Jobs.<\/p>\n

The aim is simple- to turn WordPress into an easy to manage job board that anyone can host. It’s not quite ready, but you can try it out here<\/a>. The best thing about it is when it is 100% ready for prime time they’re going to release the code for free so we can all enjoy the benefits of their blood, sweat and cheers.<\/p>\n

I wrote about the project over at GoSquared Discuss<\/a> earlier today, but I thought I would promote it to liquidicity so everyone can see what a great piece of work this is.<\/p>\n

I tested it out briefly and first impressions are great:<\/p>\n

The Great Stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n

* Posting of new jobs is really simple
\n* Useful RSS Feeds for each job category
\n* Instant preview of job post
\n* Clear division of job categories at both top and bottom of page
\n* “next” and “previous” job categories at bottom of page
\n* No sign-in necessary
\n* Overall really simple to use<\/p>\n

Improvements That Could be Made<\/strong><\/p>\n

* First and foremost – a search function would make it much easier to find jobs. Especially if the number of jobs reaches into the hundreds.
\n* People may not be over keen on their email address being posted out in the open. Perhaps hiding this with a coded image or a hashed code would be better.
\n* Greater focus on “job description” to ensure enough detail on what the job is about is given. Perhaps allow basic html formatting (bold, italics, bullets etc.)
\n* On posting a new job, clicking “preview” would ideally scroll the page up to where the preview text shows.
\n* Indication of new jobs to returning visitors with an icon or formatting.<\/p>\n

To Make it Kick-ass<\/strong><\/p>\n

* Link “location” field to a mapping site like Google Maps.
\n* Allow people to sign in to post jobs without having to fill everything in again.
\n* Ability to share a job with friends by email.<\/p>\n

All in all, BlueFur Jobs looks to be an awesome job board, and we are really looking forward to seeing it develop.<\/p>\n

Drop a comment to help them out – they are looking for as much help as possible while they develop it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
