DuckDuckGo also now has you as the top two results for “The New Neo”, so you’ve definitely made something better!

Progress!

There is a transcript there, if you don’t want to watch a video telling you what can be conveyed in text. Or watch the vid if “tl;dr”.

I believe that “not any” is as suitable an interpretation of the original topic as your choice of “not one”, hence plural is also acceptable.

Actually, not sure of that one. By the implication of “not one”, yes, it should be singular and thus “is”.

The feel to me, however, is that the implied subject is plural via the prepositional clause.

I note that the Cambridge dictionary definition of the word “none” offers an example that allows for both options (emphasis mine):

=====
not one (of a group of people or things), or not any:
None of my children has/have blonde hair.
=====

I do try, on occasion, to write for a less literate audience, and ultimately fail miserably. I blame much of it on maybe 6 years of Latin in HS and college. And, then, of course, law school. Worst thing ever for writing simplistically. For those who haven’t survived the experience – it teaches you the ability to read and understand half page long paragraphs wandering all over the place.

I used to have to turn off M$Word’s checkers because they were so hilariously bad. Now I leave them on because, although they’re frequently a minor nuisance, they do tend to catch some mistakes I actually make. No, I will not make my sentences shorter just for the supposedly ignorant masses. (Victor Hugo once had a famous exchange with his editor about a 750 word sentence. Even I might wince at that.) Likewise I put commas after introductory phrases only when it feels right, not after even a single word as they insist. I’m given to neologisms like buzznym (an acronym that is equivalent to a buzzword), so I resist their efforts to fossilize the language.

Much of their SEO advice is consciously tilted towards those who consume (I won’t say read) their information solely from their phones. Pfui! You have to know the audience you are aiming for. It’s a losing game to try to sell Rolls Royces like they are Honda Civics. We ain’t all cut out to be McDonalds. Some of us aim to be gourmet chefs.

I’ll be interested to check how well that works when robots.txt file is adjusted.

Actually, don’t do that. It looks like you’ve got a tag subdirectory there. What I thought it would do would be to prohibit the search engine indexer from going to the administration section on the site, but because of the way you’re configured that wouldn’t work.

What you can do, though, is change the “Disallow:” to “Allow:” and that gives the indexing robot permission to crawl the entire site. You can also rename the “robots.txt” file to something like “robots.txt.bak” so that the indexing engine doesn’t find the file it’s looking for and just assumes it’s safe to index by default.

You won’t break anything by messing with the file. The robots exclusion standard was put in place back in the nineties (1994, if I remember correctly) to prevent now-defunct search engines like Lycos and AltaVista from either burying single machine web servers with too much traffic, or driving individual web pages out of monthly bandwidth allowances.
