Maria,
I took a moment to see if I could figure out what you were talking about,
and if I understood correctly, the Google verification is for ownership of
the site, yes? If so, there seemed to be a choice of creating a html file
with Notepad, and uploading that to the root directory as an alternative to
adding code to your home page. If that is what you were talking about, do
that instead. Then you won't have to manually edit the code every time you
update your website.

Hey David~
Yes, I was talking about the verification for ownership with Google. And as
I understand it, that is one of the things you can do to get your web site to
start to "naturally" get some rankings when searched (Hope I am saying that
right), and the first thing they have you do is verify the ownership.
I did try the file in the root directory, and that never worked. I even
tried to place in in different locations...no luck.
Oh well, I guess I will have to move on to other headaches! =)
You have been great and I appreciate you taking the time to research my
question and I apologize I format them poorly. Learning curve.
All the best,
Maria

Like many things, you may have to do as I do...read and reread directions
before you figure them out. But I will leave that to you. Somehow I suspect
that Google will find your site, and as per SEO...that is an open ended
topic.
Don't worry about formatting the questions. If you could format the question
better you probably wouldn't need to ask the question. I think it is a bit
like the current crop of Help sections, especially in MSFT programs. Unless
you know the key word to search for, it is hard to find the help material
you need. And if you knew the key word, then you probably wouldn't need the
help. I miss the days of the help contents being on my computer and
organized in a table of contents and an index. It made it so much easier
than the web centric help now available.
Good luck.
