# API Key not working

 * Once I figured out (thanks to these forums) that I need to sign up for a wordpress.
   com blog to get an API key, I did that. I took the key and put it in on my original,
   hosted blog. But I keep getting an error message saying my key appears invalid.
   I’ve tried logging out, deactivating the plugin, reactivating it, typing the 
   API Key in manually, copy and paste, but I keep getting the same error code. 
   Any hints?

 * Yup – if you use the Feedback link in your wp.com blog, that’s the fastest way
   of getting a new one 🙂
