Hello team!

We need another Mozilla site to be verified in order to make it an associated website on our Firefox YouTube channel. This time it's the http://wwww.webwewant.mozilla.org site. 

This site is associated to the Australis launch campaign. The meta tag that YouTube gave to implement on this site is:

<meta name="google-site-verification" content="Mef8xJZ1-faaN2AdGdCfRFo5VeoXOSxjXNIzMsxcx94" />

This is top priority right now for us since we are days away from the launch. I attached a screenshot with exact instructions from YouTube just in case. Any questions let me know! Thanks!

A few questions about this before we implement.

The url noted above is http://wwww.webwewant.mozilla.org the correct url is:

> https://webwewant.mozilla.org

1. Can you verify if you need to change either the metatag or the url
2. The site will not be live until 5:30AMPT April 29th. We can add this to the dev site so you can make sure it is correct but google will not be able to verify production until we go live.

Hello

Here is the meta tag:

<meta name="google-site-verification" content="Mef8xJZ1-faaN2AdGdCfRFo5VeoXOSxjXNIzMsxcx94" />

Attached a screenshot to this bug. 

Oh, I did not know that detail. Then what do you suggest? Waiting until the day of launch to add the meta tag & verify with YouTube?

So I can add the meta tag now, this way you can view the dev site and confirm it is ok.

It will then go live on Tuesday when the site is made public.

Unfortunately google wants this on a public website to verify and we are not public/live yet.

Hello

Ok, please add it now & I'll click on the ''verify'' button on Tuesday after 9AM EST & add in the annotation after we have made sure everything is working correctly. Sounds good?
