description trouble

When "amy thomas creative photography" is typed in for a web search, a wacky description of my site appears. I checked the HTML on the smugmug server and it seems there may be a problem with code after "content description". Any way I can change that description to reflect what my site is really all about? :dunno
I'm including a screen shot of a section of what I saw. Th part in blue is what I'm suspicious of, since it's included as part of that "wacky" description I mentioned...

Thanks!

    Aghh!
    I looked at the red Gotcha, changed my bio description and added #bioText {display:none;} to CSS code. I then couldn't access my galleries when clicking on Photo Galleries navbar button (all other buttons link fine). I removed #bioText code...still no galleries...just my new bio description atop the slide show.

    Put a </div> at the end of your bio text like this:

    <div id="bioText">Beautiful, creative photographic products from the familiar to the unusual. High quality cards, prints, posters, canvases, framed images, etc. are available. All imagery is Amy's own! Special orders are welcome. Amy is and emerging photographic artist based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.</div>

    ANY time you add a <div> tag, you must add a matching </div> tag.

    Thank you, friend-
    When trying to get back into the bio text, my bio description just goes away...in other words, I see the description over the slide show, hit "edit" and both slide show and description disappear. I see NO text of either my description NOR the code for the slide show. Suggestions?

    Amy
    Yeah, that's because of this mistake you have in your HTML. Go to your control panel to fix the bio:
