Hasin Hayder has started up a new project that he's documented in a new blog entry - the creation of a new jobs website in PHP.   I was involved in making a job site few days ago. During the development, I have studied how easily anyone can develop a job site using PHP (language independent in true sense) . So I decide to write a blog post about my experience and here it goes. But note that this article is not about scaling or balancing the load on your site during heavy traffic, heh heh.   He comments on the startup process surrounding this type of site and makes suggestions about something to consider for your careers site - pulling job content from other sites in two ways - screen scraping and using the job search APIs out there.

(InfoWorld) - Blogging pioneer Six Apart has made an aggressive move to defend and expand its presence in the workplace now that major vendorsÂ such asÂ IBMÂ and MicrosoftÂ have begun to build blog components into their enterprise collaboration platforms. On Tuesday, Six Apart released the most significant upgrade in years of its enterprise blogging software Movable Type, boosting what many industry experts already consider to be the most sophisticated product of its kind. Movable Type 4 has been rearchitected to simplify companies' management and deployment of corporate blogs and the creation of online communities, Six Apart officials said. The company also announced its intention to release an open source version of Movable Type in this year's third quarter for companies and developers interested in extending the functionality of the platform. The new version's enhancements keep Movable Type ahead of the rudimentary blogging capabilities vendorsÂ such asÂ IBM and Microsoft have begun putting in their collaboration platforms. "No one has anything as robust as Movable Type. Six Apart has a big head start," said Rob Koplowitz, a Forrester Research analyst. However, Six Apart must keep enhancing the product and making sure it's easy to integrate with enterprise systems, because what Microsoft and IBM lack in sophistication, they make up for in the convenience of providing broad, one-stop collaboration platforms. "This is where the Movable Type story needs to be stronger," said Mike Gotta, a Burton Group analyst. Increasingly, enterprise customers expect to have an integrated suite of Web 2.0 collaboration software that includes such thingsÂ as blog, wiki, and content syndication applications, Gotta said. A step in the right direction is Movable Type's inclusion in Intel's SuiteTwo bundle of Web 2.0 enterprise collaboration software, although it remains to be seen if SuiteTwo will succeed in the market, Gotta said. SuiteTwo, which also includes wiki software from Socialtext, integration services from SpikeSource, and content syndication tools from NewsGator Technologies and SimpleFeed, became available in April. Integration and bundling efforts aside, Six Apart should also consider building a wiki component for Movable Type, because there is so much synergy between wikis and blogs, Gotta said. Of course, Six Apart must continue with its aggressive innovation and upgrade release cycle so that it can keep Movable Type's functionality safely ahead of offerings from the likes of IBM and Microsoft, Koplowitz said. "It's always dangerous to be in the crosshairs of big organizations like IBM and Microsoft," Koplowitz said. Movable Type customers include Intel, Oracle, Boeing, The Washington Post, and New York University. Highlights in Movable Type 4 include:-- Blog publishing improvementsÂ such asÂ an installation and upgrade wizard, enhanced template management tools, and a redesigned user interface;-- Community-creation capabilities such as the ability for blog owners to let readers become members of their Web sites and able to post text, photos, video, and audio;-- IT administration tools to manage multiple blogs and users from a central interface;-- Scalability featuresÂ such asÂ the ability to run Movable Type in multiple servers;-- Integration capabilities to tie in to enterprise systems and directories. The beta version of Movable Type 4 can be downloaded from the product's main site. Regarding pricing, the product is free for personal use. Customers with commercial, education, and nonprofit licenses for the product's current version can upgrade to version 4 at a discount. More information about pricing is at this page.

The ProDevTips website has posted part seven of their series covering the construction of a community site (or CMS) with the combination of Smarty and the Zend Framework.   Since XOOPS didn't do it for me when it comes to this project I have started with the blog component. As it turns out, a blog is more complicated than you would think. Therefore this part will not cover the whole component, only as far as I've gotten at the moment. Covering the whole process in one piece would make it a very long piece indeed.   He provides the code examples and complete SQL structure to get the blog up and rolling as well as some handy tips and explanations along the way.

WebReference.com is back today with part two of their "Building a Weblog" series picking up where the previous part left off.   They start with adding a comments summary to the page, giving the user a view of the previous comment submitted by other users. They include a brief look at anchor tags before moving into the code to display some of the previous blog entries. Next up is all about getting more specific - creating the code to view each of the specific blog entries.    Of course, what is an entry without its comments, so they include the code to integrate that into the page as well. Finally, they give the user a way to talk back about the content they're reading by adding a simple comments form to each of the posts' pages.
