I am completely clueless about SEO, but the tag line “a community blog devoted to refining the art of human rationality” is part of an image file and as such invisible to Google, right? Making it equally prominently visible to Google as it is to humans seems like the sort of thing that would help. I don’t know what the best way to do that would be though, alt text?

Yes looking at the source html, the image has the alt text “Less Wrong”/”Less Wrong Discussion”, but does not include the tag line, which it should.
Google is smart enough to know about this kind of “trick” and trying it will actually decrease your pagerank. Do not meddle in the ways of google… ;)
