 * I finally managed to get the google verification code onto a page on my blog 
   site, but although it shows the html that I copied from the google site, and 
   it shows on my page, it does not show the correct html on the browser that google
   needs to verify.still shows 404 error, can you please tell me what I am doing
   wrong? thank you

 * There a two methods, it seems you have confused them a little.
 * 1) Take the html verification code, create a new html-page with exact the same
   name (“verificationcode.html”) and upload that file to your webspace. Hit “Verify”
   in your Google Account and Google will find the verification.html page.
 * 2) Take the “meta tag code” and put it into the Head of your existing startpage.
 * For me it sounds like you have taken the html-code, added it into the startpage
   and now try to reach the html-verification page, that doesn’t exist.
 * Personally i prefer the first method, creating a new page and upload it. It can
   be done in seconds without messing around in some code…
 * Upload the html-page into the main directory of your site.
 * I hope i could give you an idea and you’ll make it 😉

 * This is what I did:
    on google verify page I copied the html from ‘googlexxxxxxxx’
   onto the header of a new page.
 * I then clicked on ” save” and then when I checked the browser it did not show
   the google code.
    I did the above on my wordpress.com blog and it worked fine.
