Wrong coding?

Help: I would appreciate any at all. . .

When I Googled my site this is what came up:

THE IRW DIET It Really Works. MORE DIET INFORMATION JOIN MY DIET CONTACT ME ABN 67 232 ... The IRW Diet is about healthy eating. It won't leave you hungry. ...

I have tagged (is that the correct term??) a description into my page, and assumed it would be shown. What it is actually showing are my links in my index page.

Is there something wrong with my code?

<title>The IRW Diet</title>
<meta http-equiv="New It Really Works Diet" content="A fantastic NEW diet that will drop weight fast and keep it off, I know, I did it!; text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <meta name="new, diet, irw, weight, fat, loss, fat loss, lose fat, detox, detox diet, lose weight, new diet, irw diet" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mm_lodging1.css" type="text/css" />

and

<meta name="Keywords" content="IRW Diet, diet, lose weight, free, fat, it really works, exercise, new, food, low carb" />
<meta name="Description" content="The IRW Diet is a new easy to follow diet with no weighing or counting calories. It is about healthy eating the whole family can enjoy.
Six meals a day is the answer to keeping hunger pains at bay!" />

Regards Jo

Looks to me like Google hasn't reindexed your page since you added the extra meta info. (View your page in google cache and check view-source)

Re: Wrong coding?

Code:
<meta http-equiv...
<meta name...
I don't know where you got these but I've never seen them used like this before.

Description looks okay but loose the repeated keywords and go validate your HTML.

Edit: Not a personal attack, but this is why professional web designers exist.

Re: Wrong coding?

youve put the styles above the new meta information you added.

i dont understand why youve linked a style sheet and then got extra style stuff in that page as well.
perhaps link to another .css file?

and id remove the Dreamweaver stuff. its not needed.

Hi Sen, it seems you are right, it has come up fine today.

Thanks for the tips guys,
I will keep working on it . .. and learning . . .

I admit, I would love to have been able to pay someone to design it, but have to learn the hard way. I did the html check and it will now take me 2 hours to understand it!

Luckily I've got loads of time to spare...huh!

Regards JO
