Blink,
Posting the code again, as it got messed up a little.

Looking at the code on the page, there are some unclosed tags in the article content. At the very top of the article area and find the code that looks like below. On that 3rd line, there's a closing </a> tag without any opening tag. Stuff like that can confuse our automatic 'guess' for the best description, and is bad for browsers and search engines:

<div class="ja-thumbnail clearfix">
			<div class="thumbnail" style="position:relative;z-index:2">
									</a><a rel="jagroupgroup"

Thanks MTK and Alzander. I decided to try each steps one after the other to see which one that will work. So, I started with the easy one "MOVE JFBCContent Plugin to the top' and that fixed it.

The next question I have is: how do i make it to strip 100 characters? So far, it appears to be taking the first 35 characters

In the 4.2 release (in April), the description length will be a configurable parameter. For now though, if you need to change it, edit the /plugins/content/jfbccontent/jfbccontent.php file. Search for "100" and you'll find a line like below:

$articleText = substr($articleText, 0, 100);

Simply replace the 100 with whatever length you'd prefer to use.

Hope that helps, and good luck!
Alex
