    There was a change made a while ago to echo whats in your bio description in the meta tags. Google then uses this as the description on it's pages.

    As Dna explained, your bio description gets into your meta description tag now.

    As to the page: what google shows you there is not your page, but one of your feeds (which will lead to your page). Since the feeds are linked from the homepage and contain much less code compared to content than a home page does, they have a higher keyword density - I suspect google likes them better for that reason. I've seen several members comment that their feeds come up higher in the search results than their home pages, so your result is no exception.

    I too have a question, when I type in my nickname John Wolfe Studios , JohnWolfeStudios.com, or even WWW.johnwolfestudios.com in the google, yahoo search bar, nothing comes up. Only when I type in www.johnwolfestudios.com in the main bar does my homepage come up. I notice when I type in others nicknames, there's come up at the least, nickname powered by smugmug. Any help would be great
    Hi John, welcome to digital grin wave.gif

    If you know the web-address, why would you want to search for it?
    When you know the telephone number you are going to dial, you are not going to ask information for it, are you?

    I get a surprising number of hits from google searches for my domain name. My mom does that too. "So if I want to see YouTube, I go to google and type it in, right?"

    Actually I don't like putting my domain name in posts here, especially when I'm asking a stupid question, because they'll show up in the search results for my domain name.
