Wrong article displayed on Google
It doesn't appear to have been indexed by Google yet. You should search for the URL of an article, not the text of the title, to check whether a webpage has been indexed. You can do this by entering the URL in the search panel of Google (don't put it in the URL panel at the top of screen because this will just load the webpage). The reason your other article turns up is just because Google is finding related content. this is what I see in Firefox:
Edit: I see what's happening. Google is pulling that description from the 1940s article that also incudes the description of the Alice Cooper article under "More Theme Party Ideas".It's not broken as such Janis. It's just that Google doesn't know about it yet. All it knows about is the description of your new article, that's also in the other article. If I search for the title of the 1940s article, the correct description is shown for it. (I think. Is this your summary?)
