Pelican blog - Verify ownership Bing webmaster

195 views Asked by At

To verify ownership of my blog, the bing webmaster requires one of the following three approaches:

  1. Upload the file "BingSiteAuth.xml" to my website as https://mywebsite/BingSiteAuth.xml

  2. Copy and paste a meta tag in my default webpage e.g. <meta name="msvalidate.01" content="...." /> An example given:

<html>
    <head>
        <meta name="msvalidate.01" content="...." />
        <title>Your SEO optimized title</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        page contents
    </body>
</html>
  1. Add CNAME record to DNS

Question:

What would be the easiest approach and what would be the steps for a beginner ?

Note I am using the AboutWilson template in Pelican. Thanks

Sounds like the copy and paste meta tag would be the easiest, i have done it on my blog. All you need to do is go to your theme template directory and paste the required meta tag line in the base.html file in the head section.
