Meta tags not showing site correclty

Recently I made a site in dream weaver and uploaded it to the web. Web crawlers and ROBOTS have found the page, and it does show up in google searches. But the meta tags aren't working correctly. It shows the site name as "sample", with no description, but the sample hyperlink points correctly to the site. And if I open the site as a .html it shows the tittle in the browser correctly.

From doing some reading I see that meta tags display the the tittle from the title field. Any idea why this would be happening?

I know the site is indexed because it shows in Google.. I'm confused...

Thanks

I don't even have the

<meta name="title" content="name goes here" />

line in my code.. I have all the other ones, but thought the title was just pulled from the <title> field. Could that be it?

ps. xhtml
