    You should use a meta description to override the automatic picking up of description.
    (Which I don't found on your blog)

    because you get 2 different sites, the site in your sig is different then the one g has listed!

    If you notice, the one in the pic has -tweaks- but you sig has -tweak-

    Google will typically show your <meta name="description"> element as the snippet of text below your URL's <title> in the SERPs IF and ONLY IF all of the keywords in the search phrase appear in the <meta name="description"> elements content attribute value. If they cannot find all of the keywords in the search phrase in the <meta name="description"> element then Google will construct their own snippet.

    This problem is STILL happening on your site as you can see here. Click on one of the links in the results with the <a href...> in the snippet, view the source and search for the URL shown in the <a href...> appearing in the snippet. Locate the one with the same link text that is also shown in the snippet.

    It's your PLEASE HELP US GROW HTML snippet that keeps getting displayed in the snippet. Google considers it content from the page because it is an invalid <a> element (it contains & + # + 8221 + ; before and after the URL in the href making the href invalid making the entire <a> element invalid). The <a> element is therefore considered just more content (which it is in this case) so Google can display it as part of the snippet. And if someone copies that into the HTML of a page on their site the link is not going to work anyway.
