Also a newbie question

[cooking-with-spices]

I've set up a wordpress blog (with one of their theme templates) and bluehost is my host.

I've read that I'm supposed to verify my site so off I went to google to do so.
Where do I put the meta file OR html file? for the meta file, Google says in the 'head' before the body but I don't have that option on the template - I tried and it failed. So then I tried the html code but have no idea where it goes - it seems to be with my host? But how do I do it so I can be 'verified'? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks. Paul

Using the admin part of your WordPress installation, to the Appearance section and select the theme you are working with. Then under the Editor section you would place your code in header.php

I would suggest just after the link statements following the title section

You might find it easier to upload the file instead. It goes in the public_html folder (assuning the blog is on your main domain name).

Thanks - I tried the Admin/Appearance/theme/editor/header.php advice - and it worked great.

(I had only got as far as the admin/appearance/theme/editor and then didn't know/see where to go next)

Thanks to both of you for the quick response.
