    Example: <meta name=”facebook-domain-verification” content=”k8yhr6r4fe1g8f5upnrcwowdn45rzr” />
    2. Paste the meta-tag into the <head> … <head> section of the website’s home page HTML source, and publish the page.
    Note: Verification will fail if the meta-tag code is outside of the <head> section or in a section loaded dynamically by JavaScript.
    + Go to your site and edit the home page where you want to add the meta-tag.
    + In the Page Options, click on the Custom Codes and paste the meta-tag to the Header.
