 * Hi,
 * I am just setting up WordPress SEO by Yoast and I am stuck on first task (almost
   first).
 * Yoast says “You can use the boxes below to verify with the different Webmaster
   Tools, if your site is already verified, you can just forget about these. Enter
   the verify meta values for:”
 * My site is already verified, but do I still add the meta values? It is not a 
   very clear instruction (sorry Yoast)
 * If I have to add the meta values, I am still confused because when I verified
   my site I uploaded an HTML file to my site using the Cpanel of my host. What 
   I uploaded was a bunch of numbers google0000db00a0bdb0a0.html (I changed the 
   number for the example here to 0s for privacy. Do I still have to get the meta
   value and paste it in the WordPress SEO plugin.
 * Hope someone can help
 * Thanks,
 * Dita
