I keep reading that I should have Google Webmaster Tool. When I try to get it, I read:

Webmaster Tools Verification (?)
Enter your meta key "content" value to verify your blog with Google Webmaster Tools, Yahoo! Site Explorer

"Webmaster" "Tools" "Verification" " Enter" your "meta" "key" "content" "value" to "verify" your blog with Google Webmaster Tools, Yahoo! Site Explorer.

To me as a blogger (i.e an English language communicator) this must be a terrific example of pure crap. Out of the first eleven words, NINE are 'non-specific'. In NLP using 3 together is almost guaranteed to start putting people into a hypnotic stupor. In the first 8 words, there are 2 phrases of 4 non-specific words. THEN they go into HTML.
These are supposed to be instructions but for whom?

OK Joke over, can anybody point me at an IDIOT'S guide to getting GTW. LOL

      What he says! The auto-authentication link between Analytics and webmaster is very handy.
