I'm trying to get my site verified with Bing and according to Bing, there are a few ways to do it:

Option 1: Place an XML file on your web server

Download BingSiteAuth.xml
Upload the file to http://decorativeconcreteking.com/BingSiteAuth.xml
Confirm successful upload by visiting http://decorativeconcreteking.com/BingSiteAuth.xml in your browser
Click the verify button below

Option 2: Copy and paste a meta tag in your default webpage (they give the meta tag containing the authentication code to add to the head section of my default webpage.

or

Option 3: Add CNAME record to DNS

What is the easiest way to get verified by Bing and how do I go about it?

Go with #2 its the easiest.

then go to:
ACP -> SKINS -> YOUR SKIN -> TEMPLATES -> meta.tpl -> MODIFY

and squeeze it in just before the close of the /HEAD tag.

Then activate it and go look at the home page of your site, hit ctrl+u and see if what you added appears. If it does, then go tell bing to re-check.

If you havent used the TEMPLATES system before, there is a bit of fiddling to ACTIVATE the template, so make sure you read this carefully if it isnt coming out in the source:
