Step 2 is particularly useful - wouldn't have thought to apply all those criteria to the design.

I stuck with Wordpress because my original blog for my travel business was Wordpress and I was happy with it and all the various plugins. I didn't really know exactly what I was looking for but assumed I would know when I saw it. I choose the Sumansa theme because I though it looked right, it gave a modern business like impression.

I just glanced at the titles as I was headed out the door. Every result starts with recent posts and it has nothing to do with the title of the article. Argh! So, is there no fix for this? That's really annoying. I really do not want to have to change my theme again. Thanks for the help. :) Okay, so I got a minute to really take a look at the search results and I see what you mean.

There are a lot of "to dos" aren't there? I have to get rid of a lot of duplicate content by having the two blogs, but hey it's only been a month ;) Tired - know THAT feeling! Re the interview - he sure did! All the good responses came to me later, of course. I was checking out the map of where the hits came from on the interview and my son thought it was way cool that I know someone in Poland :) Mind you that doesn't explain the other 2 from there :) Hi Andy,

When you do site:andybeard.eu you will get the same on my blog though it has unique descriptions on each page that is messed up. In real serps you get something else messed up - some content from my footers on each post. I have been too busy on other things to fix it fully, I suppose I might just get it done later today, but I would prefer to get other things done. My blog is "organic" in that it changes slowly as I test things. I haven't wanted to change too much for the last 6 weeks due to dodgy things happening with supplemental results. I currently have over 1K pages reported as indexed with almost no supplemental results, and then occasionally I get to see some additional listings under supplemental. Until that settles down, let sleeping dogs lie. Hehe, how am I? Tired ;) - in that interview he really wanted to know about shills didn't he?
