nice handy tool that shows how your blog appears to bots, how it

select HTML tag. Follow the instruction that was given on that option
to verify your Blogger blog site.HTML tag is the easiest way to verify

Here is a list of the types of URLs you can add as a site:
http://example.com/
https://example.com/
ftp://ftp.example.com/
http://bar.example.com/
http://foo.bar.example.com/
http://www.example.com/foo/
http://www.example.com/foo/bar/
http://foo.bar.example.com/catalog/dresses/
If
your site http://www.example.com has separate sections for different
countries, Google Webmaster Tool recommends adding each of those
subsites or subfolders as a separate site.
Example:
You have a travel site with specific subfolders covering Ireland,
France, and Spain, you could add the following sites to your Webmaster
Tools account:
http://www.example.com
http://www.example.com/france
http://www.example.com/ireland
http://www.example.com/spain
Similarly, if your site has http:// and https:// versions, you should add each as a separate site.
