How do I verify your Tumblr blog for Pinterest? (Workaroud)
To verify your Tumblr blog:
Make sure you’ve listed your website on your account on the Settings page, then press the Verify Website button. On the next page, you’ll see the following instructions:
Download the HTML verification file –
Press the “Download the HTML verification file” link to download your unique HTML file.
The name of your unique file will appear after this link, in this example: pinterest-47b03.html
Open the file in a text editor like Notepad and copy the whole code
While logged in to Tumblr, go to your blog and click on "Customize" on the top right.
In the pages section of the side bar, click on "Add a Page".
Select "Custom Layout" in the menu.
Type the name of the file as the page URL. In this example, you would type: pinterest-47b03.html
Do not check "Show a link to this page" because you don't want your menu to link to it.
Paste the code from the file (step #5) in the box and click "Create Page".
Go back to the Pinterest verification page:
Press the “Click here” link to verify your blog.
We’ll automatically check your blog for the HTML file name we gave you and then verify it.
Once the process is complete, you’ll see a success message. Your website and a checkmark will display on your profile page and in search results.
Note: you will need to keep this file in your blog in order for your website to continue to be verified.
