Getting WordPress to get validated by google

I jsut read in a blog (https://jalaj.net/2007/05/21/get-your-wordpresscom-blog-google-verified/) that there were some problems verifying a blog using the WordPress tool but thay had a work around for it, i tryed it but i never got it to work for me so i did some testing on my own and found a easier way…

I used the meta tag option google had and went in to the theme editor and opened upp the header.php file and went down to the 5th row where it were a meta tag for WordPress, i put my google meta tag just under it and saved the file so i changed it from:

‘charset’); ?>” />
<meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress <?php bloginfo(’version’); ?>” /> <!– leave this for stats please –>

to this:

‘charset’); ?>” />
<meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress <?php bloginfo(’version’); ?>” />
<meta name=”verify-v1″ content=”jPyARgRiLGlXB6+jmM8kOFWk1RgYitCbZrIzbRqSfu4=” /> <!– leave this for stats please –>

and verified, and it worked flawless, hope it helps for those that had problems with it…

EDIT: miss klicked and went in the wrong forum, should be in How to and troubleshooting…
