  hi, i am following the directions given in order to verify my pinterest vs blog account but i cant find the ‘tools-available tools’ section neither the ‘webmaster/website verification services’ page..i have found instead under my microsofts’ tools section the F12 developer tools. I Copy and paste the meta tag given by pinterest after the head section and before the body section. In order to do so I do not get a clear ‘paste’ option rather a ‘paste as child’ option..Either way its been impossible to verify my website. Is there anyone who would know what i need to do in order to complete the verification process? thank you

  Hi there,

  If you want to verify your site with Pinterest you can do so following the instructions here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#pinterest-site-verification Note that you do need to be logged in to Pinterest when you do this.

  At Point #7 in those instructions, where it says “Open the Tools → Available Tools Page,” you’ll need to be on this page in your WP Admin Dashboard https://artemisinthemetallicforestdotcom.wordpress.com/wp-admin/tools.php and scroll down a bit until you see “Pinterest Site Verification.” Then paste the long string that you copied from Pinterest into the line and remember to hit the Save Changes button to update your settings.

  Let us know how that goes.

  PS You may want to update your website address in your account settings to the correct site http://artemisinthemetallicforest.com/ or https://artemisinthemetallicforestdotcom.wordpress.com/ so that when you comment on other people’s sites, they can then follow the link back to your site. (Not to mention here in the forums!)
