Best verification method for Bing places in Everweb

Hi,

Listed below are the three methods of verifying a site with Bing. What advice can you offer for the best? or most straight forward? approach possible in Everweb or in the Rage hosting environment?
Thanks for any thoughts/advice.

Thanks
DLD

Here's the info from Bing on the three paths...

XML File authentication:
Click BingSiteAuth.xml to save the custom XML file, which contains your customized ownership verification code, to your computer, and then upload the file to the root directory of the registered site.

Meta tag authentication:
Copy the displayed <meta> tag with your custom ownership verification code to the clipboard. Then open your registered site’s default page in your web development environment editor and paste the code at the end of the <head> section. Make sure the <head> section is followed by a <body> tag. Lastly, upload the revised default page file containing the new <meta> tag to your site.

Add CNAME record to DNS:
This option requires access to your domain hosting account. Inside that account you would edit the CNAME record to hold the verification code (series of numbers and letters) we have provided you. When complete, we can see this information and verify your ownership of the site.

Number 2 is the easiest. Meta tag. Copy the Meta tag, open EW, on left click where your site name is or New Website to see the Publishing Page(?), paste into field where it says Head Code, then publish site.
If you have not tried Sitemap Automator, I recommend it, easy to use and I believe free for EW users. I also believe that if you wanted to do the xml verification, it would be easiest through SA
