Shaun - it turns out you don't HAVE TO do the verification step. Just go and claim your site. The verification step is just adding a line to your home page so that when your front page changes, the snapshot of it here also changes. It should also allow you to edit the blurb about your site; your blurb is bound to be better than mine.
You can check out what I mean by going to the link in the first post and clicking on "show all fansites". It's neat. |
