I have a flashdrive with MSDOS 3.31, and several DOS versions of programs, 123, wordstar, just to play.
3 second boot and zero delay in loading programs, makes me wonder why we have wasted so much on bells and whistles
I'd be happy (almost) with a text UI

Re: ckeditor

The op has noted that what they are doing, does not work particularly well;
if they attempted it they may note that what is being suggested, does work;

one is left with the thought, why does the OP not make the attempt to try what is suggested.
Perhaps a charitable answer, may come to mind.

Re: Queries about sitemap file in webmaster account

Google looked over every file in the sitemap, and discarded those it did not care for.

duplicated content(and/or sufficiently similar content)
badly formed code that the bot bounced
possible reasons, not the reasons
159/170 = 93% : thats good, few sites (no sites) are totally indexed, the other pages will be reached by users if they need them

Re: Multiple Designing

If you are doing work for which you expect to get paid,
LEARN HOW TO DO IT

You put your site address on a post that says
"Hey everyone I'm lying to you.

"we're experts in responsive web design, web development, seo."

some new definition of expert the public may not be familiar with?
expert: combination noun: EX+spurt
EX: has been;
spurt: drip under pressure;

Re: How to know which keywords to use for better optimization?

Get a google webmaster account, and get the right answers from google about what google want from a website.

Bots parse all text on the page.
Whatever language the site is offered in, must be correct.
It does not have to be idiomatically correct.
Semantically; grammatically; correct content gains results.
Original Content gains results.
Correct coding gains results.

Re: How to increase my traffic....!

More Traffic, or more conversions,
I get fewer than 200 page hits daily, but average 2 sales from those 200,
in real estate, that is a huge return, my hosting is $4.95/month.
selling shoes I would need thousands of hits and thousands of conversions.

Re: What is needed to be noted before to start content writing?

generally:
original, semantically & grammatically correct, accurate content.
Don't mess up read-ability to stuff the text with keywords.
use others' content, with permission, and attribute that content, the backlinks help them.
keep the landing page small so it loads fast,
subsequent pages will already have the css and scripts in the cache, they can be bigger for the same apparent load time.

can't be specific about your site, know nothing about it.

Re: ie nested li goes away too fast after hover

cant always think of .., but a possible explanation of why ..

IE builds the box model for nested elements differently to other browsers.
padding margins etc is inside each element on ie, outside the element on more standards compliant browsers
. . so . . .
when IE creates an element there is a bare area at the border, not part of any element, not present in other browsers, just big enough to cause the :hover effect to fail.

you may be able to repair it by altering padding and/or margin in the css for the nested lists

Re: XL Media help

I dont think you could find all their websites

They appear to be a facilitator, a provider of click-to-play links for gambling providers.

XLMedia owns more than 2,000 web sites, in 17 languages, which act as a “customer doorway” for gambling operators. These content rich websites are designed to attract online gaming players which are then directed to XLMedia’s clients. Sophisticated research, optimisation, testing and analysis on in-house platforms ensure that the websites maintain high rankings on internet search engines, which in turn drives online traffic.

many such turn out to be untouchable, the links may be to scumbags, but the provision of the link is grey

Multiple sites, registered to multiple holding companies,
wholely owned subsidiaries, but with their own structures directors and act as their own registrants in different jurisdictions.

XLMedia Plc is incorporated in Jersey(Registered Number 114467). Registered office: 12 Castle Street, St Helier, Jersey JE2 3RT. The rights of shareholders may differ to those of a UK incorporated company.

My bold

Jersey, is a tax and liability haven
and the office is IN the Jersey Financial Services Commission building,
