 * Hi,
    I installed this plugin and added the Google Search Verification Code per
   the instructions. As soon as I clicked ‘Publish’ in my theme editor, the verification
   code appeared above the site header and would not go away. I have tried deactivating
   and uninstalling the plugin, deactivated other suspect plugins, reinstalled my
   theme, and browsed through pretty much all of the site’s CSS and header files.
   So far, nothing has worked nor can I figure out where the code may be buried.
 * Anyone want to take a guess at what might be going on here??
 * Many thanks in advance for any and all help!

 * The code mysteriously disappeared from the header sometime yesterday and everything
   is back to normal on my website. Without further adieu, I will consider this 
   issue resolved.

 * I’m glad to hear that. The problem might have been caused by a plugin conflict,
   though.
