  Hi,
  Have followed all the steps for verifying my wordpress.com site using metatag method putting the tag into Google Webmaster Tools section of my wordpress bog but keep getting the message ‘Verification failed for http://www.earthmansasianwalkabout.wordpress.com/ using the Meta tag method (19 minutes ago). We couldn’t find the verification meta tag’.
  Have tried all the stuff on youtube but nothing works, cant use a http client (it’s not self hosted).
  Any help would be hot.
  Cheers

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

  Hi.
  This is the support page:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/

  did you note:
  remember to find : Alternate methods...

  the meta tag that is located at google webmaster tool web site will be in angle brackets.

  if you see a file with an extension to download, you are not using the “Alternate methods”. and need to go back and find them.

  earthmansasianwalkabout.wordpress.com doesn’t exist

  Also make sure that you are using the correct URL – there are no “www” in any WordPress.COM blogs.
