I can't seem to find a way to add my tags etc to the site... it's not going to be a very helpful tool if I can't build my site correctly. I tried the "add html" but it doesn't seem to do anything I need to be able to verify my site before I publish. I don't want to wait until google crawls it to find there is no information or it is not where it should be.

You can do this through the Edit Menu > Edit Keywords and Description...

Hi Brent,
Click on Edit, in the drop-down options you'll find:
-Edit Keywords and Descriptions
-Insert Website Analytics Code

Also, right above those options you'll see Edit Header if there's anything else you need to add or change. You can also enter alt text, click the object button (top menu) to add alt text for your photos, etc.

The ADD HTML is to give you an easy way to add code to the body of your site (tables, lists, divs, iframes...), right below it is the ADD FLASH tool to insert CC Galleries, forms... These give you a box to paste code you've copied elsewhere into so it's easy to add html/flash items to your page.

I see Scott got in here while I was rambling on
