I have followed the instructions from this tutorial (http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/Flash+Slideshow) about adding text to my bio so that when my page comes up at google, it shows all the relevant info, but it doesn't seem to work. Why is that so ? What am I missing ?

Also, when I do a google search, it still shows the site as if it is hosted on smugmug instead of my own domain. How do I change that ?

Ohhhhh all this CSS and Java is making my head explode :crazy

Thanks in advance

How long ago did you make the changes to your page? How long ago did you set up your custom domain? It can take Google a little while to re-index your changes. When I search for your bio text info on Google, I don't get any hits from you so it looks to me like it is just not indexed yet.

I made the changes couple of days ago. Yeah, It might need some time for google to index it, will give it a try in a few days time. I thogught I'd check with other experts to see if I have something messed up i my bio box. Thanks, anyway.

You have this:

<script>
<div id="bioText">Ljsphotographyonline by Ljupco Smokovski. Portrait, Travel, Stock photography on sale..</div>
</script>


And it should be this (with no script tags around your bioText):

<div id="bioText">Ljsphotographyonline by Ljupco Smokovski. Portrait, Travel, Stock photography on sale..</div>

Also, you should only have one <html> and </html> at the very beginning and very end of what you put in your bio. You appear to have more than one.

And this word "Ljsphotographyonline" in your bioText probably isn't helping with Google unless your potential viewers somehow know to search for that long phrase.

And, you have a lot of slideshow parameters that belong to the stretchy slideshow. Those are not valid for the regular slideshow which you are using. You should remove the stretchy parameters (extraH, minW, minH, maxW, extraW, maxH, aspectHeightConstrain, aspectWidth, aspectHeight).

Ohhhh..... I knew that I blew it. Thanks, will modify that. What about the name of the galliries ? Can I erase it somehow so that no name shows up ?

All I want is to remove the word Portfolio on this Page (it'S in yellow color) (http://www.ljsphotographyonline.com/Portfolio). I don't wan't anything but the names of Galleries. Hope this is understandable. How do I do that ?
