Inserting HTML Code on Wordpress Homepage for Affiliate Marketing Tracking

I am in the process of setting up an affiliate marketing registration with a company who has asked me to do the following:

"Insert a mega tag into the sites homepage:
<meta name='webgains-site-verification' content='a*******e' />

I am then asked to 'verify' my site.

Request For Help
I would appreciate help (assume I know nothing/not much) about precisely:

(a) how to navigate via the WP-admin menu to get to the homepage HTML; and
(b) precisely where to copy the above meta tag so that I can validate the site

Thank you in advance,
David

As far as I know editor is not a standard option in WordPress - I don't have it my sites.

To add a meta tag you can also do this

Go to Appearance => Themes
Check which theme is active
Now FTP to your site and browse to
wp-content/themes/<your theme name>
Look for a file header.php
Download that
Edit the header.php - unless your theme is based on a framework like beans you should see a standard start to an HTML document with a <head> section
You can add your <meta> tag to the <head> section and upload the header.php to the same folder and you are done.

If your theme is based on a framework you will need to tell us which one for us to be able to assist you.
