  I jsut read in a blog (http://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:

  [Deleted PHP code – drmike]

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

  This may provide a solution for blogger like yourself who have downloaded a blog from http://wordpress.org.

  But, it is not applicable to our wordpress.com blogs here, which are hosted on the wp-MU (multi-user) blogging platform.

  Would you please post this where it can be used at http://wordpress.org/support
  Tx :)
