  Hi,
  I am new to WordPress (have been using Blogger for years) & I’m having a little difficulty finding the Editor on my dashboard.

  All I wanted to do was add a meta tag to my blog so that it can be Pinterest verified, but alas I don’t have an editor that will allow me to add the meta tag to the head of the blog.

  Can anyone help me please?

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

  This is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture. We WordPress.COM bloggers cannot access metadata and insert anything intop the <header>. http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/seo-on-wordpress-com/
  WordPress.com SEO is very good. If you had two identical sites, one hosted here and one self-hosted using that same plugin, the site hosted here would have better SEO than the self-hosted site. WordPress.com has huge SEO and you get the benefit of that by having your site as a “subdomain” here.
