Where to ad google site verification content?
I want to use google vebmaster tools, to allow google to verify my website. Google webmaster tools give me 2 options: 1. to download a html verification file, wich I have to upload, but I don't know where and 2. to use an alternate method, ussing a html tag wich I have to copy a meta tag and paste it into my site's home page. It should go in the <head> section, before the first <body> section. For sure I am totaly in fog, because I do not realize what is my website home page. Pls give me an advice. This one is a example from google webmaster tools:
HTML Code:

<html> <head> <meta name="google-site-verification" content="EgBrB-Ku9ByFc9Co5Yl7mfzOR................................" /> <title> My title </title> </head> <body> page contents </body> </html>
.
Question: whwre I can find head like in this example? Tk a lot.

I tried this link, and followed all instructions, but it not works: http://docs.appthemes.com/action-hooks/appthemes_meta/. Google response: Verification failed for http://mysite.com/ using the Meta tag method (less than a minute ago). We couldn't find the verification meta tag. I use a child theme and I added this code:

function insert_google_analytics_meta() {
echo '<meta name="google-site-verification" content="EgBrB-Ku9ByFc9Co5Yl7....................." />';
}
add_action( 'appthemes_meta', 'insert_google_analytics_meta' );

I added, the same traking code provided by google in classipress>settings> traking code, but nothing happens:

<script type="text/javascript">

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-39............-1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

</script>

Why don't you use the first method? All you need to do is upload that googlexxxxxx.html file to the root of your WordPress. That's the place where you also find the wp-config.php of your WordPress.

After that you call it directly like this: yoursitename.com/googlexxxxxxxx.html
