I cannot get Google Webmaster Tools to verify my Oxwall website. I have tried adding an html file to the directory and a DNS TXT record.  In Joomla I can simply edit the template I am using and add a meta tag to the head section but I see nothing like that in Oxwall.

I cannot seem to figure out how to add a meta tag.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

insert:


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/yourgoogleverificationfile\.html


change yourgoogleverificationfile with yours from google..

Thank you Angel for your reply. I added this ti the .htaccess file

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/googlec3f05887e48e28fc\.html

Webmaster Tools Says
We weren't able to verify your site: http://www.childfreelovers.com/

Quite frustrating.
