  I am trying to verify my blog with Google and have read through your instructions at http://faq.wordpress.com/2008/08/08/how-do-i-verify-my-site-with-google/
  The instructions say to create a page (not a post). Will this page be visible to my readers? That would be odd? Can I delete it once google has verified?

  This post should help you: http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2007/11/14/how-to-google-site-verification/

  And there is also this FAQ I found by typing “google” into the FAQ searchbox: http://faq.wordpress.com/2008/08/08/how-do-i-verify-my-site-with-google/

  Create the page and then after google verifies your site, you can edit the page and set it to private so that it will not show on your blog.

  Sorry, I didn’t read carefully enough.

  By the way, don’t delete it. Make it private so that if you need it again in the future sometime it is there.
