    Default Google verification?

    The Google verification process requires that I add a meta tag to my site's home page. Their instructions say "Copy the meta tag below, and paste it into your site's home page. It should go in the <head> section, before the first <body> section.

    <meta name="google-site-verification" content="02PSOLTn7y915DhZTAE0piSHyUlofJaDXDhmY5z5J d0" />"

    I don't know what these terms (<head>, <body>) mean or exactly what to do. I know to go to the web properties box, select page, and click HTLM code button. Currently in there is a Google Analytics tracking code (which has been working).

    I tried adding their verification code just before the existing tracking code. I then ran their verify process -- it failed.

    Can anyone explain, in newbie terms, how to do this?

    draw a shape on the bottom layer (possibly called MouseOff)
    select it and open "website properties"
    click "Placeholder"
    click "HTML code (head)"
    insert your google code
    click OK
    click Apply
    upload and test with google

    hope it helps

    Did as you instructed. Failed again.
    Message: Verification failed for http://www.walshincometaxes.com/ using the Meta tag method (less than a minute ago). Your meta tag is not in the <head> section of your home page.

    Note: The bottom layer (where I placed this) on mine is "page background".

    sorry, the bottom layer not including page background and/or pasteboard background

    looking at the source of your page, the google meta tag is in the <body> section of your page, so you need to delete it from the "HTML code (body)" placeholder tab

    How do I put it in the "<head>"section? The only button in the web properties/placeholder tab says HTLM code (body).

    In your Version I think you will have to use "body" placeholder and then name it <head>
