I have registered with google apps because I need an email address info@mysite. In order to verify that I own this site, google apps asks me to upload a verification html file verifile.html and go to the file through my browser. However they recognise the location myfile/verifile.html, while my yola account can only get in in mysite/resources/verifile.html. Please tell me how to remove the word "resources" from the location of my uploaded html files.

Hello Jenny,
As Nathan has mentioned the HTML file is not a solution for Yola sites and unfortunately the meta tag is very much hit and miss. Google have developed their third option which does work reliably with Yola sites and that's the option of a TXT file added to a CNAME record.

Thanks for posting that, Gop. I forgot about the TXT option being the best for Yola :)
The TXT or CNAME option I hope will become more and more widely used by various service providers.
Wouldn't it be great if we could get the attention of the spiders and robots via a robot.txt this way? and all kinds of meta tags alternatives for engines to take note of.

Confusion. At first I pasted the text, and they said the email is configured,congratulations. When I go to my google apps to process, they say I stil;l had to verify site. I clicked on verify and it did not work. So I went back to check the code which google gave me, but it had changed. I cannot edit the first code I pasted on my site. What kind of problem is this?
How can I update the DNS record to google-site-verification=g7SKbQ9gBvV9qgmGXmPXPQcgnauqcSU3gxA4R4bPqNU, because this is the current one that google says I should verify. It is strange that it changed
When I try to edit the TXT record on my Yola to the one currently shown by google, I receive the message "Record of type TXT with name could not be edited: Invalid value". What should I do?
Hi, Jenny,

I created my site tonight through the Yola subdomain free service and was trying to add a google apps email but My Yola/Domains does not show the site as registered and therefore no "advanced settings" to click on to follow the tutorial set up. please help.
Hello gigipdeluca,
I don't think that you can do this with a Yola sub-domain. I think you need a custom domain so that you can add these things.
You may be able to do it with the Yola mail but I'm not sure as I have never used or really explored this facility.

Hi, gigipdeluca,
Gop is correct that this cannot be done with a sub domain. You need to have a custom domain for email.

You might want to use a TXT file though instead because sometimes the meta tag doesn't work.
Gop has posted a link to the tutorial, but here's the link again for your convenience: Setting up your email with Google Apps

I think the TXT option would be better for you. Please see this tutorial: Setting up your email with Google Apps
Hope this helps.

However, the tutorial you talk about says nothing about TXT. It instead directs me to exactly the page that does not help. Can you explain how to do the TXT one?

Have you created your Google Apps account first of all?
I am happy to work with you through this and we can do it a couple of ways.
You can either get me to do the whole thing or you can follow me step by step and advise me of your steps as you go?
It is up to you?
I'll wait here for your responses until you finish if you like?

Copy the code that appears at this place and then go to Step 10 and paste that code into the box as displayed.
The code or TXT record that it is referring to is over in your Google Apps pages.

That comment was made in response to another persons,
gigipdeluca's, query and wasn't related to yours. Sorry for the confusion.
