  I am trying to add Google verification to my header, but for the life of me cannot locate where to actually put in the code. I am using Blogum, if that makes a difference. When I go into my header settings, there is no code to change or add to. Any help would be appreciated : )

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,
  To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
  Also know that even if you fail to verify the blog it doesn’t matter as the content will be indexed anyway, provided the blog visibility is public.

  Note also that WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines
