Question about setting up Google Webmaster on Network Solutions?

[howlusa]

I'm trying to set myself up as a Webmaster on my company's site. We use Network Solutions. I am following Google's directions on how to do this. However, I am a bit wary. Here are the directions. Underlined is the part I am having trouble with:

1. Log in to your account for howlatthemoon.com at www.networksolutions.com by clicking theManage Account icon.

2. In the left navigation bar, open the nsWebAddress (Domains) menu by clicking the **+ **icon.

3. Click Manage Domain Names.

4. On the Domain Details page for the domain you're using, select the Designated DNS radio button (to the right of Change domain to point to) and click the Apply Changes button.

   If you've previously modified your advanced DNS settings, click Edit (to the right ofDomain currently points to).

5. Under the Advanced DNS Manager heading, click Manage Advanced DNS Records.

6. Under the Text (TXT Records) heading, click Add/Edit.

7. In the Host field, enter @.

8. Leave the TTL field set to the default value.

9. In the Text field, copy and paste the following unique security token: 
   (security token removed for obvious reasons)

10. Click Continue.

11. Review your changes and click Save Changes.

12. When you've done saving the TXT record, click the Verify button below on this page.

There is already a host of @ (None). The text for it reads:

v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all

I called Network Solutions and the guy I was speaking with told me to delete it and replace it with my Google Webmasters code. However, I think this is setting up our email. Do I just add the Webmasters in and have two hosts of @ (None)?

Thanks!

Thanks!

yes you can have multiple txt records for a single host.

[howlusa]

It's ok that they'll have the same host (@)?

Leave the existing TXT record for gmail as it is and create the webmaster central one as a new, separate TXT record. (You can have multiple TXT records). It is purely so that Google can verify that you are the owner/administrator of the domain name.
