There are two methods of verifying your website, one is with meta tag and one is with a file.
So go to Google Webmaster central and choose to verify your website, then there is a drop down box:
Choose verification method...
Choose 'Upload an HTML file', then it will give you a file name similar to:
googlea0caa18a8317462e.html
Open your Notepad and on the top menu go to:
File > Save or press Ctrl+s
Now enter that file name in the 'File name' field and click save. (it doesn't mather if it's empty)
Then upload this file into your website along with index.html file, so you can view it from your web browser.
So if this is your website's URL:
http://www.winslowgirlva.com/
And this was the file name Google gave you: googlea0caa18a8317462e.html
You will have to be able to type:
http://www.winslowgirlva.com/googlea...a8317462e.html
In your browser and view the file you just made and uploaded.
Then back to Google Webmaster central, click 'Verify' and you should be all set.
Post back if you run into a problem.
