Hi - I have a heavily customized homepage, but now I realize that I want to add a Description to it. When I look at the source code for the page in IE, I see a Description, which is set to "This is a test", but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to show this text on the page. Drivin' me mad.

Thanks for any help.

It's in your bio and the slideshow is using the bioBox so it won't show. You
want to add a box with some text in it on your homepage? If so, where do your
want it, above show or below it?

DArn. That's what I was afraid of. Well, the reason I want to add a Description is for search engines. I notice, for example, that Andy Williams has the same sort of homepage that I have - I used his as inspiration. :D
When you Google for him, you get his URL and a description of his site. That descrpition is not on his homepage, or anywhere on his site, that I could find. It's in his source code, though, for his homepage. So, there must be some way I can add this text to the bio box and hide it, I suppose. I noticed, like I said, that in my homepage View Source the text "This is a test". I recall adding that a long time ago, but I can't find it anywhere on my site or in my code.

Thanks for yuour help!!

Add all you want to your bio and it will be used even though it's hidden I think.

Problem is, I can't see the Bio box to enter any text. Or, in this case, change the text I put in there before I made it invisible. So that's really my modified question: How do I unhide the bio box so I can add the text to it, without scrfewing up my slideshow? Or do I just cut out all the customizations in CSS and Save and mayhbe my Bio box appears and I can change it and then I add the CSS stuff back in...? Thanks again.

Your bio Box is not hidden, the show is just using it. Go into your control
panel, you can edit your bio there.

Believe me, if I could, I would. There is no Bio box field on my Customization page, or anywhere else I can find in the Control Panel. Can you tell me exactly WHERE in Control Panel I might find this? All I can find is this, in the CSS section:

#bioBox {
text-align: center;
background: none;
padding: 10px;
}
.galleries #bioBox {
display: none;
}
#bioBox .photo {
display: none;
}

If you go to my homepage and do a View Source, you'll see a description that says "This is a test". I will give you $5 if you can tell me WHERE that is on my site. I know I put it in the Bio box way back before I did any customizations, but the Bio box doesn't exist anymore on my homepage, as the slideshow is using it and there is no field in Control Panel called Bio. I challenge you to find "This is a test" on my site, anywhere.

Thanks for your help. This may seem like a stupid question, but it's really not.

Look under the setting tab in your control panel.
