Can't edit my bio anymore...

pjspics

Is there a reason why I cant edit my bio anymore.
I don't have this visible on my home page but I do use it for adding key words for Google search etc.
When I go to my home page via control panel I can see my bio but when I click on edit all the text disappears.
I have a large number of key words in it but I can no longer edit, delete or add any new ones.
Below is what it looks like after I click EDIT:

I do seem to be getting errors on my control panel pages as below.
You can also see the missing text in this screen shot.

The backup way to edit your bio is here:



FYI, I don't think you've included your bio on your home page so it is not helping you with keywords for Google search. You'd have to show it from Smugmug's point of view and then hide it with CSS such that it is included in the home page, but just not visible.

Thanks John, I can get in to my Bio now via the above method.
Are you sure about Google and keywords in my Bio when not shown.
When I do a search for Paul Griffiths on Google I get the below:

On the 3rd entry the text - 'Welcome to paul griffiths galleries... My site is dedicated to raising money for cancer research uk by selling download photographs that I have taken' - is only visible in my Bio - I dont have this anywhere else on my site (as far as I am aware) but it still shows up on a Google search even though I don't have my Bio visible.

It would be worth knowing as I have a lot of key words in my Bio and only added them there as I kept seeing text from my Bio turning up on Google.

You're right. Smugmug is putting that text into your meta tags even though the Bio itself is not visible.

FYI, did you figure out why you couldn't open your bio in the normal ways? That usually means you have some messed up HTML in your customization (unclosed tags is the most common issue).

Thanks John you were right...
I removed some html that was in there from some time ago when I had it visible and its accessible now the normal way.
Much appreciated.
