BLR’s New HR Website is Now Like a Personal Assistant

Posted on by

Old Saybrook, CT (PRWEB) September 28, 2007

For nearly a decade, human resource professionals have depended on the website, HR.BLR.com, created by Business & Legal Reports (BLR), to meet all their information needs. The site provides news on employment law compliance, along with forms, prewritten HR policies and training materials, and other essentials. But as with most Net-based information, users had to mold their needs to the way the website operated.

Now, that’s no longer the case. Through a combination of improvements, HR.BLR.com is now customizable to the user’s preferences, showing what’s desired, not making the user plow through what’s not–and even providing some of the information in audio.

“It’s like a personal assistant now,” said HR manager Amy Champlin who tested the new design. You tell it how your want your information and it’s there” she adds. The features Champlin refers to include the following:

-”Drag and Drop Widgets.” The site’s home page can now be set up to offer what’s of most interest, in the placement order desired. “Just move the elements around, and lock in your preferences,” explains BLR product manager Josh Baker. “HR.BLR.com will remember them whenever you login.”

-Built-In Bookmarking. Users no longer need to store the features they use most in their “Favorites” file, available only on the computer that holds the file. Instead, the site now includes internal bookmarking, instantly available from any machine used.

-Digital Notes. Users can also wave goodbye to “sticky notes” on their monitor screens. HR.BLR.com now offers digital notes, attachable to any file or feature, and organized as the user chooses.

-Newsletter Wizard. Employee newsletters are an effective communications vehicle. But many professionals deny themselves this tool because of a perceived lack of publishing ability. “They no longer need it,” says Baker. “We’ve included ready-to-use templates to quickly and easily create custom newsletters, in a flash.”

-Audio Training Presentations. HR.BLR.com has long featured ready-to-present training meetings on harassment, FMLA, safety and other topics, in customizable PowerPoint

New, Free Website Links California Consumers with Service Pros in Everything from Construction to Babysitting

Posted on by

(PRWEB) April 6, 2005

If you live in Northern California, pay a visit to http://www.servicesagent.com and you will see why this unique website might be the next revolution in business-to-consumer communications. This free web service is where you find good help you can trust – quickly, simply and economically.

Say you have a contract job available for home repairs, but don’t have the inclination to plow your way through the Yellow Pages in search of a laborer capable of completing the job on time and on budget. At ServicesAgent.com, just enter the details of the project through common text fields and easy-to-navigate dropdown menus, post any sample pictures of the project and enter the area dimensions. Next, a service professional bids on your Request for Quote. You view the bids, select the one that best suits your needs and then both you and the service professional are given access to contact one another.

“Some of the jobs you’ll find posted on our site include home improvements, housecleaning, babysitting, landscaping and catering, among others,” explained Noel Rodriguez, one of three Bay Area-based graduate students who created the site. “If a service you’re looking for isn’t there, you can add a new service listing and we do the research to find a service provider in that area. We also leverage a network of service providers who routinely bid on projects and the customer decides who to work with based on the service provider’s profile. You can sit back and relax while ServicesAgent does the shopping for you.”

But perhaps the most unique feature to this site is the WOM or Word-of-Mouth score. In much the same way eBay helps buyers evaluate the trustworthiness of sellers through a referral rating system, ServicesAgent.com utilizes the WOM score to assist consumers in making an informed decision when hiring a service professional. The higher that professional’s WOM score, the more referrals he or she has received through contracting jobs via the website. This special feature is just one of the ways ServicesAgent.com is helping consumers find good help.

And for the service professional, the Services Showcase link allows you to design your own webpage in minutes through ServicesAgent’s easy-to-use template, complete with your WOM score, project details and pictures in order to help your organization promote itself and gain more business.

“Service providers also benefit from ServicesAgent.com because it gives them an online presence and lets them select projects that match their delivery capabilities,” noted Gerardo Galvan, another partner in the company. “Since we launched officially last December, we have been really successful in signing up new members and customers have expressed their pleasure with the quality of the vendors and the work they performed. To reward service providers who do a good job, we assign the WOM score and this helps the customer make a more informed decision.

“Bridging the gap between customers and service providers is what ServicesAgent is all about,” he added.

Customers are already recognizing the power of ServicesAgent.com to reduce the time, complexity and pure frustration of finding the right person to do the job.

“As a nurse working 12 hours in ICU, I do not have time in my busy schedule to spend searching, calling and making appointments with contractors for my home projects,” said Anna, a recent customer. “I had a heritage tree removed from my front yard using Services Agent. The process was simple – I submitted my request for a quote with pictures and within days I received five bids for my project. I saved time and money and the project was done effortlessly.”

Service providers also rave about how easy the site makes communicating with potential customers. “I enjoyed the job as well as the site and it all worked out great,” said Mark.

Indie Record Label, One Eleven Records, Celebrates 111 Day With a New Website, New Bands, and Free Music

Posted on by

Celebration, FL (PRWEB) January 14, 2008

Indie label One Eleven Records celebrates 111 Day with new bands, new website, and free music.

To commemorate 111 Day (1/11), http://111records.com One Eleven Records has launched a brand new sate-of-the-art website. In conjunction with the launch, 111 has also announced the signing of three new bands – Canon, The Windupdeads, and Dearest Azazel.

Canon is a progressive four piece based out of Los Angeles. The band’s sound is most often equated to an American version of Radiohead with obvious influences ranging from Jethro Tull to 16th Century Classical. “Canon has the potential to be one of the most important bands to come out of the US in years. I’ve been interested in working with them since 2004 and feel honored to have that opportunity to do so now,” stated One Eleven Records owner, Brad Fischetti.

By definition, a “canon” is a consistent, note-for-note imitation of one melodic line by another, in which the second line starts after the first. By definition, Canon is consistent and melodic but as they may be capable of producing a “canon”, Canon is no imitation. Press Here Publicity has been brought on board to handle press for the new Canon album – due in summer 2008.

The Windupdeads is a Swedish band intent on taking over the world. With a beautiful new self-produced album, the band may just reach that goal thanks to tracks that elicit the aural pleasures of Coldplay, Keane, and Snow Patrol, yet escort one to a place as dark and haunting as the “Bottom of Hell”. “I signed this band because the music reminds me of some of my personal favorite bands – Travis, Radiohead, Embrace. It’s the first time we’ve worked with a band from outside the US but we are very excited and fortunate to be working with TWUD. The band has a great manager in Rodney Afshari (Alien Ant Farm, Rock Kills Kid) and has a chance to break huge here in the States,” explained Fischetti.

Press Here Publicity will be handling press for the Windupdeads’ debut album slated for an early summer release. The album features the song “Reverse of Shade” – made popular by the CW show Gossip Girl.

Dearest Azazel is an electrifying synth driven Atlanta based foursome featuring songs that ooze with sugar and spice blended with more hooks than a tackle box. The contagious keyboard melodies and tasty sing-along song arrangements captivate listeners while opera trained music master lead singer, Peter Armstrong, shows a vocal range as wide as a Montana cattle ranch. “Dearest Azazel is unlike any band I have heard. First time I saw these guys play live I was blown away. The sound is huge and reminiscent of the hippest 80s New Wave dance grooves yet plows a brand new musical path,” said Fischetti.

One Eleven Records will release the anticipated debut record by Dearest Azazel in the spring of 2008.

In partnership with Purevolume.com, One Eleven Records is offering an exclusive digital sampler featuring free music from Canon, the Windupdeads, Dearest Azazel, and the entire 111 roster.

Above All Roofing Launches Residential and Sloped Commercial Roofing Services Website

Posted on by


Rochester, Minnesota (PRWEB) April 4, 2011

Above All Roofing of Rochester, Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of their residential and sloped commercial roofing services website at http://www.rochesterroofs.com. The site focuses on roofing services, frequently asked questions, and includes a photo gallery of homes and businesses.

The Above All Roofing web site provides an overview of their services and explains the benefits of hiring a professional contractor for roofing installation or replacement. Their services are targeted locally to roofing Rochester, MN, and the Southeast Minnesota area.

Above All Roofing president, Ryan Reinalda, states: ?We decided to expand marketing on the web in part due to the tracking that we were doing on our print advertising. We were not impressed with our quantity of leads nor our ROI. We desire to be the most internet-based roofing contractor in the Rochester area.?

?On April 8th, we will be adding Mark Mabbitt to the team. His position is Vice President, and his responsibilities will include assisting with day-to-day operations, assisting homeowners with class-action claims and possibly some limited sales.?

Above All Roofing is rated an A+ by the BBB, member Rochester Area Builders, the National Association of Homebuilders and the Builders Association of Minnesota. We are credentialed to CertainTeed?s (shingle manufacturer) highest level, SELECT Shinglemaster.

Before founding Above All Roofing in June 2003, Rochester native Ryan Reinalda worked with several other roofing crews in the area and gained extensive experience and knowledge of the roofing business. Reinalda is a family man, living in the community, and he wanted to train a crew of employees that he would feel at ease with if he engaged them to work at his home. His crew consists of five employees who also have roots in the community. Members of his crew are not subcontractors but employees, and this allows Above All Roofing to maintain the highest standard of quality control. Employees receive their training in-house, so clients can have the assurance that each crew member will give excellent service and treat every customer with respect. A company slogan is, ?We?re not the biggest, and we?re not the oldest, we?re just the best.?

Among Rochester, MN roofers, Above All Roofing stands out as one of the most exemplary Minnesota roofing contractors in the area. The company has received recognition for its high performance standards from the National Association of Homebuilders, the Builders Association of Minnesota and Rochester Area Builders. The firm has a reputation for putting quality, safety and respectful service into each of their jobs, beginning with the customer?s first inquiry to the final cleanup and beyond.

Above All Roofing in Rochester, MN, specializes in both residential and sloped commercial roofing. They install fiberglass and/or steel shingles on newly constructed buildings, and can provide entire roof replacement services. They never put new shingles over an old roof, but always tear off the old shingles before installing new ones. This ensures a professionally installed and longer lasting roof and protects the warranty as well. They are careful to abide by all code requirements, which keeps the warranties on shingles valid. The firm provides 50 year non pro-rated warranties on the roofs they install, so those roofs should perform well for decades. Also, during the snowy winter months Above All Roofing provides roof snow removal services and ice dam removal via steam.

Above All Roofing is known for its fast service and usually responds to requests for free estimates within one business day. In addition, they can normally tear off and install a new residential roof in one day. Larger, odd sized or complex roofs may take slightly longer to complete. The company offers the services of a trained consultant concerning attic insulation and ventilation, and their crew may be capable of remedying a problem in that area. If they do not correct the problem, the consultant will give advice about solutions or provide references for professional assistance. The firm also provides help with insurance claims and class-action lawsuits.

Above All Roofing prides itself on completing roofing jobs that exceed manufacturers? guidelines and never compromising on quality. They focus on putting their customers first and always treating them and their employees with respect and consideration. Their promptness, competitive pricing and professionalism have helped contribute to making the company one of the preferred Minnesota roofing contractors.

Online ‘Side Job’ Website Offers Special Promotion to Help Fight Both Pollution and Illegal Telephone Pole Advertising

Posted on by


Gilbert, AZ (PRWEB) November 7, 2007

Take a look around the next time you drive downtown, and it’s likely that you will see advertisements on telephone poles. Everything from lawn mowing to snow plowing to painters to work at home opportunities, telephone poles seem to attract advertisers. It is specifically this type of advertising that Side Job Trader , an online side job advertising website, is targeting with its latest promotion.

“For many people who have a small side business, advertising their services on telephone poles is a common practice, because it is very low cost” says Paul Magruder, owner of Side Job Trader, “However, what most of these advertisers don’t realize is that besides littering, they are also probably breaking the law. So what we’re doing is offering these types of businesses a better, ‘greener’ place to advertise.

Magruder has implemented a special promo code (sjt0101) that will be made available on web forums frequented by these types of businesses. The code will also be made available on forums that discuss the environment and “green” solutions. The promotion is good for a free ad, allowing the advertiser a way to advertise his or her service without harming the environment.

In fact, “thinking green” is one reason Magruder started his business in the first place. “Not only is telephone pole advertising illegal in most places, it’s also ugly, and is, in effect, littering” noted Magruder. “So part of my motivation to begin the website was to offer an eco-friendly alternative to people who do side work. This way, we accomplish two things — we offer a viable, affordable way for side businesses to advertise, and the advertiser also becomes more “green” as a result, because we replace the paper equivalent.”

Plus, advertisers get the benefit of telling more of their story without their ad being ruined by the weather, and, as Magruder notes “without the risk of the police coming to your door with your ad in hand.”

Side Job Trader allows tradespeople of all skill levels to list their service, and gives people who need work done a place to find them. The online database is fully searchable, and is nationwide. To learn more about this service, please visit the website at http://www.sidejobtrader.com
