 * Hi There,
 * I have been using WP for several years, but this is the first time I have started
   a site from scratch. I am using WP 2.8.6 and the Atahualpa theme. The site is
   narwo.com. Google indexed the site within two days, which made me very happy,
   however there is a problem and I do not know if it is WP, the theme, or google
   that is causing it. When you do a Site:narwo.com in a Google search the article
   titles come out fine, but the text ‘slug’ is gibberish. Rather than creating 
   the slug from the body of the article it is using the first item on my left sidebar,
   which happens to be a calendar.
 * Can anyone point me in the right direction?
 * Thanks
 * Simon

 * There’s nothing wrong with page slugs such as `narwo.com/?page_id=2`. However,

 * As you can see the google text slug is messed up, it is taking the calendar on
   my sidebar as the text to describe the page.
