Verify your blog for Live Search Webmaster Tools

Are you unable to authenticate your Blogger hosted blog at Live Search Webmaster tools? Webmaster Tools is used to troubleshoot the crawling and indexing of your website, submit sitemaps and view statistics about your websites in Live search.
When you add the authentication code as meta tags in the <HEAD> section, e.g. <meta name="msvalidate.01" content="XXXX">
it is converted to
<meta content='XXXX' name='msvalidate.01'> and hence the verification error.
Just replace " with &quot; < with &lt; and > with &gt;

I came across this explanation by you here but didn't understand what you meant. Then I saw your explanation on the msn forum and it made more sense there.

btw in your example I see " instead of < like you explained in the MSN forum.

Anyway thanks for the help because I couldn't find it elsewhere.

@AmaryllisBulbs,
The solution is pretty simple:-
consider the meta tag generated for your blog be,
<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="XXXX">

Just replace " with &quot; < with &lt; and > with &gt;

i.e. your meta tag becomes,
&lt;meta name=&quot;msvalidate.01&quot; content=&quot;XXXX&quot;&gt;

copy-paste this to <HEAD> section of your blog.

I hope it is clear now!
