Use ATOM publishing protocol to create a blog post to act as proof of control. Use your blog, or ATOM publishing protocol endpoint URL.

Make a post containing the certificate digest that will be used as verification.
Create a graph containing the certificate information for verification.
Your certificate data in various text formats.
