I was checking my site stats on Google and they ask for a Google verification tag be placed on my index page.

I added the tag they gave me to the bio page but it does not work.

Does anyone know where I should place this tag?
Cheers,
Monte

    Didn't they generate some script code? It goes in your footer code.

    I just tried putting this code in the footer.

    ****** name="verify-v1" content="VcRYOUdzkznQlPfCvu0u3UipbeiNoqpNatwF0eREZbk=" />

    I get an error message from Google saying the follwing

    The verification meta tag is in the wrong location on the page. It must be within the first <HEAD> section of the page.

    So where do I put it?
