   When I discovered this problem I patched google_webmaster.php quickly to implement selectable meta tag name.
   
class HSS_GoogleWebmaster extends HS_SiteModule
{
...
var $metaname = 'verify-v1';
...
function wp_head ()
{
// Only need to put this on the home page
if ($this->code && is_front_page ())
echo '<meta name="'.htmlspecialchars($this->metaname).'" content="'.htmlspecialchars ($this->code).'"/>'."rn";
}

   function load ($data)
   {
   if (isset ($data['code']))
   $this->code = $data['code'];

   if (isset ($data['metaname']))
   $this->metaname = $data['metaname'];
   }
   ...
   function save_options ($data)
   {
   return array (
   'code' => $data['code'],
   'metaname' => $data['metaname'],
   );
   }

   function edit ()
   {
   ?>
   <tr>
   ...
   </tr>
   <tr>
   <th width="150"><?php _e ('Meta tag name', 'headspace'); ?>:</th>
   <td>
   <select name="metaname">
   <?php
   foreach (array(
   'verify-v1',
   'google-site-verification',
   ) as $metaname) {
   ?><option<?php if ($metaname == $this->metaname) { ?> selected="selected"<?php } ?>><?php echo htmlspecialchars ($metaname); ?></option><?php
   }
   ?>
   </select><br />
   <span class="sub"><?php _e ('Select meta tag name.', 'headspace'); ?></span>
   </td>
   </tr>
   <?php
   }

   }

   Thankyou. I added the extra line:

   echo '<meta name="google-site-verification" content="'.htmlspecialchars ($this->code).'"/>'."rn";

   under line 47 and it worked a treat.

   Nick Cree,
   I added the line of code you show under line 47 but there is an error. At the very end instead of: "rn"; it should have a backslash before the r and another backslash between the r and the n.

   What happened in my case is that after I placed the code the way you show, the letters 'rn' appeared above the Logo Area of my WP theme. I only found out why those letters were appearing 6 weeks later. Whats strange is that my website lost 60% of its indexed pages during this period. Now that I fixed the problem, I'm beginning to gain indexed pages again. Coincidence?

   EDIT: For some strange reason this post area does not show backslashes, meaning that Nick Cree's line of code probably had the 2 backslashes, but after we click on "Edit Post" they (backslashes) disappear.

   Urban Giraffe Support should look into this problem, as it made me waste almost quite a bit of my time as well as hundreds of backlinks.

   @Gil

   Yes you are right. I did have the back slashes in and they were stripped out.
