    Hi all,

    I am trying to verify my site with Google, who wants me to place meta code in my home page -- I am using wordpress 2.8.4 with K2 theme. "home" is not part of my php files, and I have made several attempts to make this successful, all placing the meta in header tag, before body tag(per Google's instructions):
    -- placed meta in the header.php
    --placed meta in footer.php
    --placed meta in index.php
    --installed Google Integration WP plugin, then placed meta back in header.php

    No luck!!!
    Can anyone help me with this? I appreciate all advice :)

    the meta code should go in the theme's header.php before the <title> tag.

    google also gives you the option to upload a blank .html file, also, don't they? just open notepad and save a blank file as whatever google tells you to and upload it
