  Sure thing! To add a TXT record visit this page:

  http://wordpress.com/my-domains

  Click “Edit” next to your domain name. Some options will open up and you’ll want the “Edit DNS” tab.

  Once there, you’ll see some DNS records already setup. Don’t worry about those. :)

  Take a look at the option under “Add New DNS Records”

  Choose TXT from the dropdown menu, leave the next box blank, and in the last box paste in the code from Google. Then click Add.

  Google email also needs several MX records, and you fill those out in the same way. Choose MX from the dropdown, and then paste in the records. We have all these steps (with screenshots) outlined here as well:
