Site owner verification failure

I've been attempting to verify site ownership by using the HTML file upload option. I get to step 3 in the process and the HTML file loads with no problem. Site is very simple - principally text based (https :// www. louisegreer .com)

When I click "Verify" I have a dialog popup with the text:

"Did you place the meta tag in your website homepage? Click Ok to continue.
If you have problem placing meta tag in your homepage, click here"

I have either OK or Cancel to pick.

I have chosen the HTML file upload so this question seems redundant. If I choose Cancel - nothing happens and I'm returned to the page I just left. If I choose OK I get:

 

"Verification Failed

We are not able to verify your site ownership.

To complete the site ownership verification process, click "Cancel" and follow the instructions to upload an HTML verification file to your site. Alternatively you may select another method of verification.

If you are not able to verify your site, click "Submit Feedback" and one of our support agents will assist you."

I've submitted Feedback 3 times now and these does not seem to be anyone answering ?

Any thoughts ? I guess I'm doing something wrong but I'm darned if I can see what it is.
