   I downloaded the HTML verification file from Google. Then I FTP'd it to the root of my self hosted site (marcmgraham.com). I then click the verification link:
   http://marcmgraham.com/googlexxxxxxxxxxxxx.html
   and I get a 404 error.

   favicon.ico is also in the root and when i type this:
   http://marcmgraham.com/favicon.ico
   I see my favicon

   What gives?

   Never mind;) I checked the permissions on the file and they were different than favicon.ico (705). Changed permissions on the google file and now I'm verified.

   Hopefully this helps somebody else!
