   I think I remember reading somewhere where you can add a description in wordpress. And that will appear under your site on Google search. Just wondering if I'm right, and if so how to do it...

   Thanks, Ray...

   With a plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/

   With a custom field:
   -Create a custom field named description
   -Add the following to your header.php file between the head.

   <meta name="description" content="<?php $description = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'description', true);
   		if($description) { ?>
   			<?php echo $description; // get the description if it exests ?>
   	<?php } else { ?>
   		some generic description in case you forgot to fill the description customfield
   	<?php } ?>
   " />
