to the front page code.Someone help!

Add the line to your theme’s header.php file just before the
</head>
tag.I have been trying to do the same (add meta tag to verify ownership). I add the code to my header.php file before the </head> tag, update file, and attempt to verify, and google says that they can’t find the code every time. What could I be doing wrong?
well….if you post a link, we can peek and make sure it’s in the right place
I DID IT!
Can anyone tell me why this appears at the top left of my pages. it shows ‘ content”/> It happened when trying at add meta google thing.
Here is my header.php, can’t see a problem, can you?
Site in question: ptoone.com
Thanks!

PHP google site verification
@esmi, can you please give an example where should I add it in my header tagPtoone,
I put the code you posted on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/3gahKrTV . The mods will delete it from your post because it is not enclosed inbackticks
Something is adding this to your html:
<meta name="<meta name=\"google-site-verification\" content=\"zEx0Fuyn3PpUd6qNPvunJfVB8mpJrnkg85nz3r7dA78\" />" content="" />
Then a few lines under it is there again but without errors. Are you adding the google verification through a plugin?
Also your header php has a bunch of code errors see here:

My glass raises to you!!!
