WooCommerce and SEO
What are the SEO recommendations for a site using a WooCommerce theme? What are the challenges compared to a normal WordPress site?
I started searching a little bit:
Yoast offers an SEO plugin for 29$
Youtube video: How to make your site SEO friendly
WooCommerce SEO plugin review, is it worth a purchase? (This site uses a nice theme called Highwind)

A November Snapshot http://flic.kr/p/hNSpaB
I took this snapshot while cycling in Basel.
Temperatures dropped to freezing point and once again it’s time to wear lots of layers, scarves and gloves.
Hard to imagine that once upon a time I didn’t own a winter coat.
I still prefer cycling in the cold. If temperatures drop further as they often do in January or February, 0 degrees will feel like summer. It’s all relative.

Scott Adams on Goals vs. Systems http://bit.ly/1gfOojJ
Recommended: Scott Adams Blog: Goals vs. Systems
“Before long your body will be trained, like Pavlov’s dogs, to crave the psychological lift you get from being active every day.”
Lots of food for thought in this article.
I particularly like the notes on writing and using blogging as a system to find new opportunities. Also what Scott is talking about here, evolved over several years and took many writing hours. Not some instant magic that some people try to sell us.

Google Hummingbird links
The latest addition to the SEO zoo is a hummingbird.
The algorithm change was announced in September 2013 but went live a month earlier.
Searchengineland has some useful background information:
FAQ: All About The New Google “Hummingbird” Algorithm
Hummingbird’s Impact On B2B Sites
Apparently this release will improve Google’s ability to predict a user’s search intent.
Conversational search has been improved.Looks like Google+ might be another factor to add to the 200 items Google looks at? Search Engine Journal says:
Apparently the advice remains the same: develop original, high-quality content.

Affordance – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I read a new, unknown word today: Affordance – See definition on Wikipedia.
A potential action that is made possible by a given object or environment; especially, one that is made easily discoverable.
Hadn’t heard of it before.
This is the context I heard it in:
The term has further evolved for use in the context of human”“computer interaction (HCI) to indicate the easy discoverability of possible actions.

Growth Mindset via Hiring for an Agile Team: Look for the Growth Mindset.
Interesting use of the term “servant leadership”. I know the term more from its use in Biblical / Christian contexts.
