[reminder] website needs google-site-verification meta tag
Closed this issue · 5 comments
This meta tag is for our Google apps, precisely, emails of name@clojurebridge.org. It sounds puzzled, but actually Google does verify by the meta tag in the http://clojurebridge.org website.

This change is required because our Google apps account became subdomain under Bridge Foundry.
The meta tag is below:
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="yGlpL-CQA6xFu5ZjUZDrh4YYbVXBkdMuKIQXLZx0Dwk" />see in edit mode
Are you concealing the value intentionally, @yokolet, or did GitHub simply not render it?
@davidchambers simply, github doesn't render angle bracket. ClojureBridge curriculum utilizes the feature to hide styling html tags so that markdown files are more readable on github :)

Okay. I added some Markdown formatting so it now appears in the description. I just wanted to be sure you weren't hiding the verification code before doing so. :)
My understanding (which may be incorrect) is that verification is a one-time thing: now that Google has verified the domain we don't need the meta tag. I may be wrong, though, and there's no harm in adding this even if it's not required.
Oh, looks nice! Thanks!
That's a good question. The document doesn't say anything about that. My concern is Google may check time to time. But, thinking of our ex-Google apps account, there was no such verification meta tag. I'll ask Bridge Foundry admin.
I got the answer from Bridge Foundry admin.
It's safe to keep the meta tag on the website. She said not completely sure but, from her research, it's possible Google checks once in a while. So, don't forget to add the meta tag!
