I posted my site as public but when I search for it it comes up that I have it set to private.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

re: search engine discoverability
It can take weeks for search engines to index your site content. Please read this support doc https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/ so you know we have no control over search engines positioning or appearance in the SERPs (search engine page results).
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
To gain search engine attention, I recommend that you start publishing posts (not pages) https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ frequently. That’s because it can take weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL.

I’ve already read all of this. Google is telling me to upload the HTML verification code. Where and how can I do this?

Is there a way to upload the HTML verification code to my site? Yes or no? Your not answering mu question. I have gone through the steps to get this verification done and it is asking me to upload the code to my site? Could you please answer my question straight forward. Instead of sending me links, please.

So why are you giving out instructions to do this… I just wasted a good 20 min of my time to have you tell me that you can’t do this. Sending people on a wild goose chase is not a good idea for business.
Thank you for answering my question straight forward. Have a good day

Most people do in fact succeed in verifying their sites with Google by using the process I linked to. http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/ I have multiple blogs and was able to verify all of them.
