You don't need to add any HTML to your site to get registered with Google. Use the "addurl" link and just fill in the blanks. Then, it can take up to 3 months or so before you will see results. Use the time to make your site perfect. Once they have indexed you, changes can show up in as little as a week.
You can also do absolutely nothing, and eventually your site will get indexed. Submitting will speed it up a bit. Good luck.
Here's a link for all three search engines: http://www.office.microsoft.com/en-us/officelive/FX102018061033.aspx

thanks for your advice rxdave very much appreciated james
i think i also went thru the same process as hacka1010. after submitting url google asks to "verify" the site so they can confirm that you are really the owner of the domain you are trying to register. google asks to add an html code to your site and then link it back to google. i tried it but gets message like "not verified" or something. but yeah, thanks rxdave for sharing this info. i will also try to figure it out and let you know if it was successful.
I have tried to verified my website with google, same yahoo and live, so its impossible that i can do it, the page give me error, let me know... somebody can help.. so i did the procedure with metatabs but whe i tested, dont showed indexed, thanks
You can find a solution for Google Webmaster tools here: http://solutionsforofficelive.com/googlewebmastertools.aspx, this does not help you in getting listed or ranking, it just gives you some helpful information.
