you will not get put into search engines immediately. put the website URL in your sig in these forums, post a lot, and youll get indexed a little better (spiders crawling these popular forums will go to your site from here).
meta data will sometimes ruin your indexing capability if you don't do it exactly right.
it takes a while to get indexed, just wait. some pages might show up before others. its just how it works.
anyways your site now,
i would go over your posts. pages looked good by glancing through. BUT your posts for your news?? need some work. in a political site (city council = politics to me, some may disagree) i would like more information. for example
I am assigned to a security detail as a Deputy Sheriff in the metro area for the Republican National Convention.
that is pretty short and to the point. i would go more along the lines of something like...
I've been assigned to be a part of the security detail as Deputy Sheriff in the metropolitan area for the Republican National Convention. ... blah blah blah
that would just be the opening line, go into detail. post your feelings about it, say what you think, how you feel, what your thoughts are, what it means to you. this website is for people to get into your head and see what you think. not see what youve been assigned to do. say how happy you are to be able to serve your community.
thats my two cents.
