Add a meta tag to my journal
I’d like to add a <meta> tag to the HTML of my journal - that has to go inside the <head>...</head> section, so I guess I have to modify my style or create a layer or something.
http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options says I’m using “Cinnamon Cream” and “Crossroads by branchandroot” (I’m guessing the first is the colour scheme and the second is the style?).
Could someone help me accomplish this, please? Handholding would be appreciated since I’m really not a styles person.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

@Pne: go to Your Styles, the style you're using should be in bold. Click the edit tab, at the bottom there's a series of drop downs, for the 'theme' layer the default will be selected, but if you click it, the drop down will give you a list of all available, one of them (likely at the bottom) will be your new layer (remembering the layer number from the Layers page will help with that actually).
If it still doesn't work, then Fey's below comment might help.

I had considered asking whether I have to "apply"/"select"/"activate" the layer somehow but had no idea how.
Your comments made it easy - thanks! My layer was indeed at the bottom and I recognised it from its name (which I had changed, partly so that I would recognise it easily).

The scary thing is, I got somethign right and 'Fey missed it. That's really not supposed to happen...
Anyway, you have your MicroID working (I assume that's what you added), it's not actually something I've encountered before. Doubt it would be of much use to me, my email address is so public it's silly...

Precisely, yes.
it's not actually something I've encountered before.
I put it in to prove to ClaimID.com that user “philipnewton” controls that site.
I don’t know how many people know of that site (much less take it seriously), so it’s mostly for fun.
Google Webmaster does something similar, and I’m sure there are other places which ask you to add something to the “head” section and/or create a file with a specific name and/or specific contents in order to prove that you control a given bit of webspace.
