Put a code in the feed or on the site's domain, and Inoreader looks for it. Only someone who can edit the feed or the site can add the code, so finding it proves that you publish the feed.

Add the code to the feed

This proves only this feed. Use it when you can edit the feed but not the site.

An element inside <channel> or <feed>

<inoreader:verify xmlns:inoreader="https://www.inoreader.com/ns/1.0">ino-[your code]</inoreader:verify>

Put it before the first post. Feed readers ignore elements they do not know, so the element changes nothing for anyone else. Keep it in place, because Inoreader looks for it every week.

The feed's description

On a platform that lets you edit only the text, add ino-[your code] to the feed's description (the site's tagline on most blog platforms). You can remove it once you are verified.

Inoreader's feed fetchers read the feed and look for the code before the first post, so a code in a post or a comment does not count. Inoreader also looks for a waiting code once a day for two weeks.
