Google Your Name - claimID

So a co-worker of mine, Kristi Dugan from Dugan Creative recommended I add a claimId to my pages to validate the web pages I say are mine are actually mine. I've go ahead and done that. Pretty neat idea, you have to include a script to your web pages and then tell claimID to validate that code. Their servers go to the site you claim is yours and looks for the code, if it finds the code, then they record the site as being validated and that it actually belongs to you.

A nifty idea, but it has it downfalls. The code has to be in the HEAD of your document, doesn't work in the body. That means it doesn't play nice with my Google Page Creator web site, I don't have access to the HEAD of my HTML pages using that tool (yet...come on Google open the Head).

It also means you can't claim your LinkedIn Profile. Too bad.

I'd like to see this technology expanded and other tools allow for you to add these types of scripts to your profiles.
