I need to verify my wordpress.com blog with youtube

    “Tell us if your channel is associated with another website. This will help us improve the quality of our search results and verify your channel as the official representation of your brand on YouTube. “

    With this verification, I get additional benefits from youtube. How do I do it?

    They provide these options:

    HTML tag Add a meta tag to your site’s home page.
    Domain name provider Sign in to your domain name provider.
    Google Analytics Use your Google Analytics account.

    In each of the options, I have to add code to the “head” of my site, and I can’t access that.

    Here is the first example:

    HTML tag Add a meta tag to your site’s home page.

    1. Copy the meta tag below, and paste it into your site’s home page. It should go in the <head> section, before the first <body> section.
    <meta name=”google-site-verification” content=”EjoGnQOIMzVlOprY3joJ3QFX84PIrvlegX3KkGn7wlA” /> Show me an example

    2. Click Verify below.

    To stay verified, don’t remove the meta tag, even after verification succeeds.

    Please help, thank you,
    Rick McCargar

    There is no ability to verify any WordPress.com blogs with youtube at this time. There is no blogger access to metadata and we cannot embed anything at all into the <header>. Please read this comparison http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    If you wish to add YouTube to your verified services on WordPress.com/Gravatar, you can do so here: http://en.gravatar.com/profiles/edit/#verified-services

    You can add a Google Webmaster code for verifying a site with Google (which may be sufficient for YouTube, I’m not certain) in your Tools > Available Tools section of your Dashboard. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/verifying-blog-on-youtube?replies=7#post-1720894

    Ha, well thank you. That explains why I haven’t been able to make it work.
