Hi,

What did you do in wp-admin folder ???

Hi,

I already noticed indexing issues when using schedule feature to publish post…
Did you schedule the publishing of your last post ?

Other thing, did you check your sitemap has changed after you published your last post ? Is the last post URL in the sitemap.xml file ?

This depends how your theme is builded.

Go to “Appearance” –> “Menu”, then check the message at the top.
the current theme does not natively support menus, but you can use the “Custom Menu” widget to add any menus you create here to the theme's sidebar.

If you have this message, you can’t create custom menu (natively) but you can create a menu here, and then go to “Widgets” to add theOtherwise, you can create a “Custom Menu” widget to side bar (if you have one, still depends of your theme)

You have just now to create smart category names, place your posts in the related category and configure a widget to display a drop-down category menu in a side bar (depends of the theme you choosen)

Hey !!! The Google results didn’t change yet, it’s normal (this require a new passage of the Google crawler on your page)
But it seems your change in YOAST worked !
Here is now the YOAST informations on your Home page source code :

<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast WordPress SEO plugin v1.3.4.1 - http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/ -->
<meta name="description" content="Michele Lisa Salon is a Full Service Redken concept salon."/>
<link rel="canonical" href="http://michelelisasalon.com/" />
<meta property='og:locale' content='en_US'/>
<meta property='og:title' content='Michele Lisa Salon'/>
<meta property='og:description' content='Michele Lisa Salon is a Full Service Redken concept salon.'/>
<meta property='og:url' content='http://michelelisasalon.com/'/>
<meta property='og:site_name' content='Michele Lisa Salon'/>
<meta property='og:type' content='website'/>
<!-- / Yoast WordPress SEO plugin. -->

As you can see above, there is a Description and some other usefull information for the most of web crawlers on the web.

From now, you have just to wait some days for that Google make a new indexation of your Home page. Sure, you can force Google to crawle it as fast as possible by adding your website URL here : http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url
I already done it (2 times in a row) for you ! So you should see a better result in Google Search tomorrow.

For your information, your correct website URL is :
http://michelelisasalon.com/
NOT
http://www.michelelisasalon.com/

What kind of Permalinks structure do you use ?
(Go to “Settings” then “Permalinks Parameters”)

I don’t know to do what you said at the beggining…
But to display just an little block from your post content, you have to use the WordPress Excerpt feature.

This is the more simple solution : (mandatory to do this action for each post)

Paste :
<!--more-->
into you post where you want your post excerpt to stop.
A “Read more” link will appears that will allow user to click to read all the post content.

And this is the cleaner solution : (do it one time, then all posts done at once)

Edit your index.php file and look for a line of code that contains :
the_content();
and replace by :
the_excerpt();
