I’m back again… I ‘ve been dealing with health issues in the last few weeks, hence the silence, I’m sorry about that. Besides that, last week I was doing a 2-day workshop for an AMAZING, super smart group of people in Dublin, Ireland. The topic was SharePoint Search, Information Architecture, taxonomies, content migration, etc. I really enjoyed it!
This week I am back to home and office, to get ready for IntraTeam Event in Copenhagen, Denmark next week. If you’re around, I’d be happy to meet up there.
My reading list for this week consists of several IA-related posts (sources and references I used for my workshop in Dublin) but tried to bring you other, interesting and exciting content, too. Here it is:
1 – My first “Search Minutes” video is here!
In this new series of short videos, I’m going to introduce small tricks, best practices, how-to’s, etc. The first one is about how to exclude content from Search and Delve in Office 365. Enjoy!
Also, I would like to encourage you to subscribe Search Explained’s YouTube channel, we’re going to publish new content there every week from now.
Subscribe now and get notified about our new videos!
