Hi,
You need to call global $withcomments; before defining the variable.
You want to put that code into the functions.php file, not the CSS. That should do the trick.
You want to look for “editor” under “appearance”.
The <head> refers to the the header section of the html which usually contains links to stylesheets and javscript. For WordPress, you should have a header.php file in your theme. Look for <head> and place the verification code immediately afterwards.
Alternatively, if your theme has a “head code” option place your verification code there.
