I am so confused. This is my first Zen Cart and I've been working my way through the book. I'm used to XHTML and CSS and having access to the doc type and head tags.

My client's website is Team Breaks Barriers.

When I just enter http://teambreaksbarriers.com, I get, in the center section, "Congratulations, you have successfully installed..." and there is no new product image - just a "No product image" image. When I click on the HOME link on the page, all corrects itself - the Congratulations message goes away, and the new product image shows up. When I try to do a permanent 301 redirect from teambreaksbarriers.com to the URL for the home page in the hosting account, I'm given a looping error message. How do I fix this?

Google is not seeing this site *at all* (site name entered into the Google search field), and I'm very concerned about the SEO of the site. I thought Zen Cart was supposed to be search engine-friendly. Granted the home page has virtually nothing on it, but I think it's also a function of the whole looping thing. Where do I enter the description for the description metatag? Where do I enter the code for Google Analytics?

Can anyone help me? This shopping cart is the most tedious, mind-boggling thing I've ever done, and I do all my XHTML and CSS coding by hand!!
