 * Hi,
 * I’m looking to add code to the theme’s homepage for my blog, in particular, a
   Google+ validation code.
 * Could anyone instruct me how to do this please, and if it’s possible, where I’ll
   need to navigate to, to action this.
 * Many thanks,
 * Jamie.

 * Hi Chris,
 * I want to add a Google+ validation code to link my Google+ blog page to my website.
 * It’s: [Google+](https://plus.google.com/104504099207501593366)
 * and I want to add it to thenumber-eightytwo.com
 * Many thanks,

 * If it’s just a verification code — meaning it can be removed after the site has
   been verified, then you can just flip into Text view in a post to put the verification
   code into a post for the purpose of verifying the site, then delete the post 
   once it’s been verified. You don’t need to worry about editing any theme code.

 * Hi,
 * That didn’t work I’m afraid. The instructions explicitly say it needs to be added
   to the Homepage. Here are the instructions:
 * Link your website
 * By adding a short line of code to [http://www.thenumber-eightytwo.com](http://www.thenumber-eightytwo.com),
   you can make your Google+ page eligible to show up on the right hand side of 
   the Google search page for relevant queries and make your Google+ page more discoverable.
   Learn more
    Ask your site’s webmaster to add the following line of code to your
   site’s homepage:
 * [Google+](https://plus.google.com/104504099207501593366)
 * You can also email these instructions to your webmaster
    Check that the line 
   of code was added to your site’s homepage and that the modified homepage is live
   on your site. Then try testing again.

 * Where the Google + hyperlink is above, on the original page it’s displayed as
   a long piece of code.

 * I’ve done this before with Google+ and I can vouch for the fact that it works.
   You just need to make sure you are in the Text editor in WordPress and that your
   post appears on the front page.

 * Hi,
 * I’m not sure why but I still couldn’t get it to work. I got round it by using
   the ‘add code’ widget.
 * Best,
 * Jamie.
