  hi there, got a few questions:

  1.
  I just 10 minutes ago registered my new domain: mayaliebermannhealing.com with WordPress.
  I am now in the process of verifying it with google.
  I have downloaded the file that google directed me to.
  How do I upload google’s html file to my website?

  2.
  My free domain has a typo that I just noticed. Is there anyway I can edit it?
  It reads: mayaliebemermannhealing.wordpress.com

  It should read: mayaliebermannhealing.wordpress.com

  3.
  I selected mayaliebermannhealing.com as my primary domain.
  When this domain is opened will people see my content which is under mayaliebemermannhealing.wordpress.com?

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

  Hi Maya,

  1. … How do I upload google’s html file to my website?

  WordPress.com doesn’t use that method to verify your site with Google. Instead, you can follow the steps in our Webmaster Tools: Google Search Console guide to verify your site.

  When you get to the step where Google gives you an HTML file, you can look for their alternate methods for verification and choose the “HTML Tag” option. You can copy that tag and paste it into the “Google Webmaster Tools” section on your site’s tools page here:

  2. My free domain has a typo that I just noticed. Is there anyway I can edit it?

  Sure thing! You can change that free domain (address) by following the steps in our guide to Change a Blog Address.

  I checked your site and it looks like you already took care of that step and fixed that typo, so let me know if you have any lingering questions about that.

  3. I selected mayaliebermannhealing.com as my primary domain.
  When this domain is opened will people see my content which is under mayaliebemermannhealing.wordpress.com?

  Yep! Your custom domain name mayaliebermannhealing.com and the free address mayaliebermannhealing.wordpress.com are linked, so the same content appears no matter which domain people visit.

  Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)
