Hi Plateman,

With regards to your metas, it really doesn't matter that much in google. It's the text in your page that really counts... Unfortunately you joined the biz about 5 years too late to rely on metas

I've gotta say, I had a look at your code and didn't even recognise half of it... I have no idea why you're using xml, and it seems that that page is a combination of office and frontpage code which is truely scary... AND whatever webbot is, it doesn't seem too SE friendly to me.

I suggest you head over to http://www.w3schools.com/html/ and read up on some decent html coding, because that'll help you heaps with the search engines.

Unfortunately the search engine game is pretty complex and learning it is often a case of making sites and seeing what works and what doesn't...

BTW, just a heads up, the font "helterskelter" isn't on my PC and I'm 99.9% sure it won't be on most peoples pc's so what we're seeing isn't what you think we're seeing.

Good Luck!

Matt
