Launching the ProBlogger Job Board
One of the projects that I’ve been working on is the ProBlogger Job Board, where people and companies can post jobs available for bloggers. It officially launched on August 30th, so I’m a little late with this post, but better late than never!
The project involved doing a complete rewrite of the code, which was originally written in PHP, and rewriting it in Ruby on Rails. The functionality of the application is more or less the same as it was before, except for a few added features that are primarily in the back-end to give Darren an easier way of administering the whole thing. We also updated the design from the old look to adapt the new look of the new ProBlogger design.
One of the primary reasons for doing this project is to give the back-end code a lot more extensibility, which is key in projects where you want to one day expand and improve on. Now that the thing’s written in Rails, there are a ton of possibilities which can be followed for the Job Board, some of which will be explored. So stay tuned for cool, new features to come!

Gary,
I know you coded this in Ruby, but can you create a wordpress plugin to use?
It might be nice to get something like Job-o-matic where you can see also other people Job Board after those you have sold.
Let me know.

Guadagnare,
I don’t really have the time to code this as a WordPress plugin, sorry!
Thanks anyway, if you will have time in the future please let me know.
Francesco
a plugin for wordpress would be well accepted imo - I would use it on 3 of my blogs.
Your job board looks really clean and simple. I’m not a programmer but I’d like to try my hand in CakePHP (that’s the framework my business partners use) for personal projects and come up with something that looks as clean and simple as what you did with the Problogger jobs.
Ciao Gary,
First of all I wish you Happy New Year.
It has been a while since you wrote the last post!
Hope everything is good.
Take care.
Francesco

I would also like to see a WP job board plug-in. The hosted services are nice, but you loose ownership of the company making the listing!
I love the idea of this site. This has been a very nice sites to find job.
Hi Gary - Are you open to and able to sell and configure the jobbing functionality you’ve developed for ProBlogger for other WordPress sites? If so, would you please email me to discuss.
Many thanks
Richard
[...] JobCoin but your visitors had to pay to post jobs. If you were a ProBlogger you could have a custom job board script built for you. Thanks to our staff now you will not need to worry about that. You can add a job [...]
