Hello, can you please help me again. I successfully verified my site with google using Sitemap Automator last week and then purchased a domain name from GoDaddy and put that onto the site.The site is made in iweb 09 and published to MobileMe. Originally the URL was http://web.me.com/go.../paulgottschalk
now you can also reach the site by typing in http://www.paulgottschalk.com
When the first page of the website comes up in the browser it reads http://www.paulgotts...lk_Studios.html
Now when I try to verify the site Google tells me that it does not exist.
The verification file has uploaded O.K to www.paulgottschalk.com/ but the Google file will not appear in the browser.The same happened when I tried without the final /.
Can you sort me out please?

You must add your website in Google Webmaster Tools as;

http://www.paulgotts...paulgottschalk/

And everything should work fine.
