Hello, as you can see this is my first post... Anyways, I have a box with content which updates its self every time certain things change, the problem is search engines have been indexing that text and not the content it should be...
If you look at the second result:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:StrafeRight.com&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&start=100&sa=N
Which is this:
http://www.straferight.com/news/12/287
The description in google is:
Progression: Group 21 hr oldProgression: Group 11 hr oldGoddamn I luv this game!6 hrs oldFPS Tweaks8 hrs oldTop Ten Boss Fights12 hrs oldhey13 hrs old ...
I've been doing some work with making the titles on the templates generate to what the content is, but for the description that google sets its picking up whats in what we call the "Latest Threads/Blogs/Reviews" box...
Is there something i can do to make the search engines ignore all that and index the article? Im basically a newbe when it comes to this stuff even though i can code just about anything in php..
Thanks!

You mean to say the second one is the article that you would prefer seeing on google rather then the first one.I personally feel you should type in the search words properly for as long the website is submitted to google there is no reason as to why it should not be shown if a proper search is conducted.

I think (could be wrong) it may have to do with duplicate contenet.
Not saying that it's done on purpose. The thing is with blogs, the SE's can get a little confused which is original stuff and which isn't depending on where it turns up in the blog.
If this is the case, decide what dupe content in which sections you don't want showing up and put a "disallow" text in your robots txt file.
Flow through of links through categories and archives on your site will help also. Remove unrequired tags.
Cheers, Chris.
