 * well log in to your wordpress.com account and then into your profile, your API
   key will be in the top left hand corner, copy and paste it into notepad and save
   it.

 * wordpres.com is nothing o do with.org This forum is wordpress.org where you can
   download the software for your own blog, but you need a wordpress.com account
   to get an API key.your wordpress.org account gives you access to this forum and
   downloads, but not the key.
    If you go to [http://wordpress.com/](http://wordpress.com/)
   you can just sign up for an account, you don’t need to rgister a free blog, just
   the account, takes two minutes, then go to your profile and get your API key,
   hope you get there. mike.
