   Verification:

   1) Write a new PAGE (not Post)

   2) Paste on the title (subject) the exact code that you get from Google Webmaster Tools option “Upload an HTML file” (this is the verification method you have to choose). Example of the code:

   google4f645e3adsdaa48g3a41z.html

   3) Click to publish it.

   4) Ask Google to verify your Blog.

   Just that! It works for me.

   For those hosted outside Wordpress.com I’ve written a small plugin to output the keys for Google, Yahoo and MSN Webmaster tools.

   When I do it shows up on my homepage as a new page with the google file as a title???

    There’s an option to mark the page as “Private” in the WP Manage Pages section.

    Thanks for writing this up. I did this and it worked great, but I decided I didn’t like seeing the page in the header, so I removed it with CSS (unfortunately you have to pay to do that, but I think it was worth it).

    When I mark the page as private, Google cannot find it any more. I just used a kind of “about” page that is not interesting for SEO and changed the URL to
    “google80ea2e8b6dd5a4c9html”
    Seems to work (for free).

    I have a Wordpress HOSTED site. I was able to upload the verification file to a new page and was successfully verified on Google. I can’t figure out how to upload a verification file to Yahoo. Thank you!

    You can change the permalink of a page you already have, like an about or contact page so you don’t have to see the google numbers. The title of the page can be anything you want.
