  I am trying to verify my blog with YouTube but can’t see where to put the code or the htnl file they told me to use.

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

  We cannot access metadata on WordPress.COM blogs and insert any codes into the <header>. The only verification arrangements made thus far are here http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
  To request that youtube verification be added to those you can use this form to create a thread in the Ideas Forum for Staff to consider.

  P.S. I’ll also request this of Staff as well.

  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.
