Making Google to verify your Wordpress Blog & submitting Sitemaps to GWebmaster Tools

After 3 hours of extensive search, I found the solution for this prob. I have found the solution no where in web except at Redchaos. I am very happy for that. Still, one hesitation is there in the solution which i want incorporate to make it complete solution.

Verifying Your Wordpress Blog:

Take the following steps:

1. Open google webmaster tools. and specify your web adress.

2.Click on verify. Google will give you 2 options. First one is "Add HTML code". Here, one html code will be given to you.  It looks like: " google7u445y3dfghat56e1075p.html" . Copy this code.

3. Now open your wordpress blog.

4. Create new page (not post).

5.Directly paste the html code, that was given to you, in title field of page

(Here wordpress will not take .html extension. Still, paste it.)

6.Now publish the page. (Content of the page doesn't matter)

By this point, ur problem is  solved. But should we keep this page on blog even it doesn't consist of any info.I donno exactly what to do for this. But i can give you tip to keep that page as private.

Submitting site maps:

1. Go to google webmaster tool site.

2. Login and then Go to dashboard. You must be done with 'verify site' by now. Otherwise, u can't proceed.

3.U many have many accounts, opposite to ur desired web address/account press "Add" button under "sitemap".

4. Give this input there in the field http://yourname.wordpress.com/sitemap.xml DONE!!!

Google will take few hours to process the request.
