Does snow on the forecast this week make it officially winter now? I'll take my 70 degree winter, thank you. Besides bundling up, we've a handful of interesting articles to share this week. Topics include: Every Frame a Painting, learning from failed projects, and remembering "event" markup.

A reminder about “event” markup
Source: Google Webmaster Central Blog
Takeaway: Google will again bring down the nerf hammer on those that try to game the system, this time in the application structured data markup. Google staff have noticed many sites marking up non-events such as coupons and sales events as if they were “events” such as a concert, lecture, or play. This has led to confusion by Google’s search users as well as being against Google’s guidelines. Sites using this technique are advised to review and get their content in line, else face the wrath of Google, which could include elimination of all structured code for that site from search results.
