Changing google search results site summary?

[Messiah Khan]

How do I go about customizing what google shows as the summary for my website? I thought I could just add it in the meta tags, but having a quick read, it seems google ignores meta tags. Any ideas?

Ah ok, cheers. Dumped a description meta tag in there. Should hopefully be picked up by the google spiders.
