I then installed Google xml site map plugin but it warned me since I have Yoast SEO installed I should not installed the Google one.
So my simple question is how do I verify my website to get it picked up by the search engines – in a simple way. Thanks for your help.

Am I pasting the code in the wrong part of the file?
Thanks.
]]><head>
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="WIt9us8QR4gJgE3gRRkqmwo2NxoYOlmlcpMAG2C5-sw" />
<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<title><?php
It will not verify. I have moved it under the <meta charset… and I have moved it under the <meta name=”viewpoint”. It will not verify.
I also went about half way down the line of code there (see below)and placed it between the <header> and <body>. It did not verify.
?>
</head>
<body <?php body_class(); ?>>
[Please post code snippets between backticks or use the code button.]
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? I do not understand computer language but I can follow directions that are well presented. Thank you for your help!
