Ron & Alexandra - It is my Active Rain outside blog. How do I fix the architechture of my Active Rain site?

Michael - I am trying to add an html file, or a CNAME file so i can verify ownership of my domain name. This is what they suggest in Google webmaster tools. So far, it hasn't worked.

Judy,

It is not your host that needs to be contacted.  It is your webmaster, it is about the architecture of your site.  That is done by someone who writes the programming of your site.

Hi Gabe - By the time I figure this out, I might be an expert on robot.txt files. Grrrrr.

Thanks Roy - I've tried the tester and that failed too. :(

Oh gosh.  I would either try to contact your webmaster (if you have one) or else google this question.  I think this is something were you really need someone who understands websites to help.
