How are google webmaster documents going to help us find a way to add the meta field to wordpress?
Read the damn question next time! Obviously he has the tag, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to add any google webmaster tools code unless you’re on the VIP memebership which is $5000 a month, which is kind of expensive just to add a google analytics code. Also, you can’t even contact woredpress about it.
I’ll be moving the site to another platform. Probably Shopify.com or a self hosted solution.

That’s rude and we do not tolerate any rudeness here. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpresscom-forums-community-standards?replies=1
This is the WordPress.COM support forum and chaitanyamsv provided the correct answer above for all WordPress.COM bloggers.
WordPress.COM is a multi-user blogging platform. here our blogs share a common architecture. We WordPress.COM bloggers cannot access metadata and insert anything into the <header>. http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/seo-on-wordpress-com/
WordPress.com SEO is very good. If you had two identical sites, one hosted here and one self-hosted using that same plugin, the site hosted here would have better SEO than the self-hosted site. WordPress.com has huge SEO and you get the benefit of that by having your site as a “subdomain” here.

That’s a good idea but do be aware that they don’t tolerate rudeness on the wordpress.org support forums at http://wordpress.org/support/ either, so be prepared to communicate in a civil manner or to be ignored; the choice is yours.

Sorry, just very frustrated, I’ve been trying to find an answer to this question for a week. Literally about 30 hours.
I wouldn’t be so frustrated with Shopify, you can actually reach their support team and get answers.

All support docs relevant to WordPress.com hosted blogs are at http://support.wordpress.com

and http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#google-webmaster-toolsWordPress.COM is a multiuser blogging platform. Our blogs are not standalone installs. They share a common architecture and we bloggers do not have metadata access to our WordPress.COM hosted blogs. To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com hosted blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.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
It can take weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL. What attracts search engines is unique content in posts (not pages) that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet. Start now publishing original content posts frequently two or even three times weekly. For more information read > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/21/omg-i-cant-find-my-blog-on-google/

Google webmaster tools help doesn’t show how to do something in wordpress.
That was why my first “rude” reply to the guy that didn’t read the question in the first place. Google gives you the meta tag and the script, but doesn’t tell you how to add it to a wordpress.com website. While the link you provided does add the meta tag, that’s usesless if you can’t add the analytics script.
Please don’t bother replying unless you can tell me how to add the analytics script to a wordpress premium account. I don’t want to upgrade to the VIP plan which is $5,000 per month.

WordPress.COM runs Google Analytics on our blogs, but only those who pay for a $299. per year US for the Business upgrade bundle can view them. Business bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/

@bluejayswatch – Hello! As has now been mentioned, Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools are different things. Given your original question, chaitanyamsv’s answer was completely spot on.
As timethief has mentioned, we do not tolerate personal attacks here in the forums. I encourage you to take a look at our Community Standards and expect that you’ll refrain from this type of response in the future.
