    I am a real green when it comes to CSS so here goes. I noticed when Google indexed my home page the closing line in the site description says “skip to content” Correct me if I am wrong I get the impression some custom PHP code can fix this however I have no clue how to do this. Here is the link to my web site http://www.lanenatureimages.com I started with the twenty eleven theme and customized it with Lubith. Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated.

    There is nothing on that page with the text ‘skip to content’.

    ‘skip to content’ is hidden text for screen readers, and is the text within the header that comes after the site description.

    – to give google some more content to index, you could consider to use a seo plugin and add some longer meta description text (which could also be individual for the different pages and posts).

    The skip to content is not located in the head section of my page, it is located in the body section of my page.

    I will look into this and appreciate your suggestion.

    No, what I meant was that I do not see skip to content being inserted inside your google search listing for the home page. If this is the problem you are describing, the text that shows up there *can* (not necessarily has to) comes from the meta description tag. Your theme doesn’t render it so you can alleviate this by using an SEO plugin. Look for Yoast SEO.

    Did you mess around with the PHP code? Because your title tags are all messed up. March 12th cache, your title tags for the pages each had their own distinct text (with a flawed “|”).

    In the current search listing for the home page, I do not see the listing to have skip to content in it in the search description.

    However, you got much bigger problems all over the place with the title to your current pages. Every page has this on it:

    Lane Nature Images Nature | Photograph | Wildlife pictures | Landscape | fine art prints |

    You got to fix that if you want to rank.My suggestion is to BACKUP the theme folders. Remove the theme, download and install again to start over.

    Although this wont solve your immediate problem, I would strongly suggest that you never do modifications on your production environment. Always keep a local development environment and make changes to it before you go live. Something like this with the title tags is devastating to your site’s ranking and the way Google perceives your website..
