I have built my site, www.tobyscottlpc.com, in Office Live. I do not have access to the root directory. I have added the authentication code to the keyword meta tag section of my home/default page (gogo....yk099).
My understanding from similar posts this that you should be able to see the code and will need to have someone manually verify it. I also understand that the auth code can only be 128 characters. As pasted above it is 130 characters. Not sure what to do to shorten it. I downloaded a new code and repasted it to my keyword metatag without the dashes...there are 2 so the whole code is now 128 characters...not sure if that is what you are looking for but thought I'd try it.
Thanks for your help.
