Okay, so I ain't gettin' it yet. I've uploaded two albums, and they both have the same text above and beside the images. Do I need to make a separate template for each album I upload, and if so, how do I associate the album with its template?
On another topic, I have uploaded a 180x180 png I would like to use for an apple touch icon, but the box from which to select said icon is shrunken: the down-arrow is present on the right, but the box itself is only a few pixels wide and nothing is contained therein. Did it cross over into one of those shrunken dimensions we read about in string theory?

You can set the text for each album in Lr: Album Settings... > Page content

Did you upload the image using backlight or ftp?

To add to what Daniel said, there is the possibility for two sets of text to display at the same time in each album.
The album template contains text. This is created in Backlight when you create the album template. This text can then appear in any album that uses this template. This is handy for things you might want in each album, like rights statements, etc.
The album itself can contain text. This is added in Lightroom when you create or edit the album. This is what Daniel is mentioning above.
When you create or edit an album, you have the choice on whether or not to include the template text as well as where to place that text.
So the same text you've been seeing in albums is the album set text. If you don't want it to show, edit the album and make the necessary choice for displaying text under the Page Content tab.
Or you can change/remove the text from the album set in Backlight.

Thanks. Is this kind of thing written anywhere? I didn't see anything in the documentation.
About the apple touch icon, I uploaded it with Backlight.

Still not gettin' it. When I look at the Lightroom album page, there is a place to write Album Description, but that only shows up as a subhead under the album thumbnail on the Galleries page. I want to be able to put a couple of explanatory or descriptive sentences over the album thumbnails, different, of course, for each album. Can't see how that would work.

In LR in your instance of TTG Publisher (that you used to get the album on the website) right click on the album you want to work with to edit it. Therin are tabs for Base Settings, Page Content, Features, and Integration. On the Page Content tab there is a block called Page Copy(MD). That's where you put the text you'd like over the album thumbnails.

to clarify, this is the text that shows up on the album page itself, usually situated above the thumbnail grid.
