Webmaster Tools verification errors

I changed my Blogger template, that caused Google Webmaster Tools verification error. I tried to reverify by meta tag, but reverification failed, the reason is "couldn't find the verification meta tag.

I checked the layout html code, and found Blogger actually altered the meta tag:

meta content='nLNz0zzW0vaKx-pIrbCsxkAx57GlUwiscsI2WHx-_A8' name='google-site-verification'

The order of "mata name" and "meta content" swapped, and double quotation marks has been changed to single quotes.

That's why Master tools couldn't find the meta tag!

Blogger in Draft has already integrated with Webmaster Tools, and verification can be done automatically, "Blogger in Draft dashboard to take you directly to Webmaster Tools. If you follow it, we’ll add all your blogs to Webmaster Tools and verify them for you automatically. " And the verification method is upload a html file which is already there, rather than by meta tag.

This post is about specific Vodafone Home Broadband Router configuration for Incoming Connection and other service on your home computer. This is not a tutorial, and will not be going into details of the services and router configuaration, I just want to point out couple of points you need to pay attention to. 1. Port Forwarding. Vadafone Router has its own name for Port Forwarding, it's called Port Mapping under Port Management category.The picture below shows that I set up web server on my desktop, I map my local address on port 80; and I set up PPTP incoming connection by mapping local address on port 1723.

Pricing information is missing or not applicable

One of Google Play Books "Needs Action" issues is "Pricing information is missing or not applicable",  this is caused by the payment settings, you have to set up "Payment Profile", "Sale Territories", and "Currency Conversion" if you sell your book to the "WORLD". Some authors or publishers spend hours to tweak the Prices setting when they add new books, and feel very confused and frustrated, this happened to me too. Then I realized that you have to set up your Payment Method first, adding bank account for your payment profile. After that you wait for Google to deposit some cents to verify the bank account. You have to add sales territories as well, if the territory is WORLD, you have to TURN ON currency conversion, too. You have also to specify the On-Sale Date, although its help tips (when hover mouse on the question mark ? ) says "Leave this field blank if the book can be made available for sale on Google Play ...
