I still am on my trial period, and did a search for my site with google, and was surprised to find it quite near the top, even though I have only just started putting the site together! However, it shows the following information, is there anyway I can get it to show something more meaningful?
"Pembrokeshire Photos- powered by SmugMug

var ssConfig = { AlbumID: '8766942', newWindow: 'false', transparent: 'true', splash: 'http://www.smugmug.com/img/ria/ShizamSlides/smugmug_black.png', ...
www.pembrokeshirephotos.eu/

Thanks

You can add a page title on the advanced site-wide customization screen. If you do that, it will be used in your search results.

The Powered by Smugmug tag is removed if you have a page title and you have a pro-level account.

You can also add some text to be included as text in search results. Scroll down to the GOTCHA on this page - http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/Flash+Slideshow

How long does it take for Google to start seeing your site? I did more of the things instructed but Google is still not indexing my site.

Thanks Denise. I did already have Pembrokeshire Photos as the title page. I'll look into the other stuff now.
Thanks
Edit. I have added the text here, the HTML code first and then the CSS (#bioText {display: none;}) at the end, is that correct?
<html>
<div id="bioText">Pembrokeshire Photos. Some personal photos of the beautiful county of Pembrokeshire, Wales</div>
********>
Rest of slideshow code.
</********
</html>
<html>
********>
var ssConfig = {
AlbumID: '9027175',
newWindow: 'false',
transparent: 'true',
splash: 'http://www.smugmug.com/img/ria/ShizamSlides/smugmug_black.png',
showLogo: 'false',
clickToImage: 'true',
showThumbs: 'true',
showButtons: 'true',
crossFadeSpeed: '350'
};

SM.flash.insertSlideshow(720, 576, ssConfig, 'transparent');
#bioText {display: none;}
</********
</html>

Edit. Think I got that wrong, so have removed #bioText {display: none;} from above and put in site wide customisation.

I've no idea, but I am still on my trial 2 week period, so that seems quick to me.

Have changed all as recommended yesterday and have checked in a few browsers, but still showing the same.

Any further advice, anything I should be checking?
Thanks

It takes a while for the search engines to pick up the changes. You will just need to wait.

Ok, thanks, I thought that might be the case, but didn't want to sit waiting for something that was wrong and was never going to change!:D
