For some reason when I change the favorite artist in my front page, my site description disappears from search engines and the favorite artist's small description that appears on the Favorite Artist feature is what shows as the description on search engines, what can I do about this?

Another thing I have noticed is every time I create/update the sitemap and send it to google, I go from having 500+ pages indexed to only having about 200 and it takes days if not weeks to have the rest indexed, this only happens with my JR site, I have a few other sites using different scripts and this never happens.

Fix your meta description tag in your skin's meta.tpl file so it does not use the profile's information.

Then don't bother with a sitemap. It's certainly something you should not be uploading to Google on a regular basis - Google will crawl and find the pages on your site all on it's own - the only time I can think you would want to upload it to Google is if your site is brand new.
