 * My API Key: a7b4c07a4718
 * 1. The program “WordPress.com Stats Plugin” does not accept my “API Key”!
 * 2. The program “Akismet” writes: “WordPress.com API Key
    Your key appears invalid.
   Double-check it.” !

 * I want to get a Word Press Plugin. It states I need an API Key. There is no API
   Key in my welcome letter. There is no API Key in my User Profile. I installed
   wordpress through Fantastico through my host server Blue Host. I contacted them
   and they said they have nothing to do with wordpress that I need to contact WordPress.
   So here I am. Where do I get this API Key since it’s not in the places that it
   should be? Thanks.

 * Assuming your talking about the WP Stats Plugin you need to create a free account
   at wordpress.com You don’t have to create a blog over there but you need an account.(
   you’ll also need that key to use Akismet anti-spam plugin that comes bundled 
   with WordPress)

 * I also have a blog uploaded through Fantastico. Its been up for a year. I have
   NEVER been able to get a key. I did, just as suggested on the forum: registered
   for a free wordpress account and I was sent a key. However, when I tried to use
   it for Akisment it said, “invalid key”. I cannot contact wordpress support because
   the form won’t submit claiming its only for wordpress blogs which is what I have.
 * Does anyone have the solution?

 * Hi there, its simple, just log in to your wordpress.com account.

   profile.Your API key is in the top left of the page. Hope this helps. Mike.

 * Error from last API Key attempt:
 * The owner of that API Key (penseelibre1) is not on the access list for this blog(
   4376771). To be added to the access list, you must contact support.
    really impossible:
   i have had in an another live 2 blogs in .com, then another now hosted. so i 
   have 2 API, and i do not know when i have to use one or another : please 1 API
   new if you want and only 1 identity enough : the 2 identities nordcreuse penseelibre1
   cordialy
