When I do a Google search for my site I get this other stuff in front of my text info. How do I get rid of this? I can’t put an image in here so I’ll type it the way it looks on Google.

All that stuff before the sentence “A biker’s got to know…” is stuff I don’t want to show on a search. What did I do wrong?
I think there are several reasons for this. Search engines look at your
page and try to identify its content. Your page has no semantic content and
no meta content. The search engines do their best to evaluate what is there
(links, alt tags, images). Your site is visually impressive, but devoid of
tangible content.
Learn to see your page like a search engine does, then adjust accordingly.

Oh that sounds bad. When you say meta content should I be using the System (http-equiv) window and put tags in there? I’m lost. And the Alt text just kind of showed up on its own. I didn’t add to it. Should I?
It is bad. You have so much graphic text, and so little real text, search
engines have nothing to search except for text scraps.
Start by looking at your website the way a search engine does. Both Firefox
and Safari have developer features that let you view a page without styles
or images. When you do that, you start to have a basic idea of what they
see. Learn about semantic structure and the tools available to help you see
your pages that way. Learn about meta tags and develop a strategy for using
them to highlight your existing content to search engines. Start using real
text on your pages and develop a creative strategy that best preserves
accessibility and appearance.

OK, so I have my work cut out for me. I’ll read through the articles (thank you!) but there’s no guarantee I’ll understand what I’m doing… Ha! When I’m done I’ll be back for more guidance from all you gurus.
Alright, I did the home page and uploaded it. Before I go on to the rest of the site, do you see anything wrong? I know there’s something.
Also, I read in one of the articles that if you change the page name after it’s been indexed you need to upload a .htaccess file to the root. Is there anywhere I can learn how to make that file?
You only need an htaccess file if you changed the filename, not the Title.

When you can get that tool to return an outline that anyone who’s never
seen your page can understand and recognize when they finally do go to your
site, you will have a semantic page worthy of being indexed by inhuman
robotic search engines.
Or hire someone like me to do it for you. I’m just saying
