Need Help with business description

Hey all. I don't know if this is the right spot or even what to search for to find it here. Move it if necessary. My problem is when searching through Google or Yahoo, when my site pops up, in the description it just shows my menu items. How do I change the description to actually be about my shop? Thanks. :wacko:

The funky numbers or symbols are usually related to word styles or unescaped ampersands.

Special characters need to be coded with a proper matching ampersand to display properly.

Thanks for the metatags info. About my business name in my posts, it used to show fine a couple of months ago. Now the word ######## is ######.

This is to prevent the Zen Cart forum from being filtered in search results as adult.

Re: Need Help with business description

I still cannot figure out where the store description goes. I have 1.3.8a. I have looked in this file, and there is no place for a store description.
