 * The video is great, but it does not indicate that I need to pay for an API key,
   nor does it give the URL to obtain the key. Without it, the plugin doesn’t work.

 * Hi Joyanne,
    You do not need to pay for a Google API Key; they are free to obtain.
   The plugin does work without the API key on the majority of WordPress installs
   but there are some exceptions (due to the hosting configuration of the site).
   Anyway, in order to obtain an API key:
    - Visit [console.developers.google.com](https://console.developers.google.com/)
    - Create a new project
    - Click APIs Under the APIs & auth menu
    - Turn on Web Fonts Developer API
    - Click Credentials under the APIs & auth menu
    - Create a new browser key and leave the referrer box empty
    - Copy and paste the google api key into your website
 * Please let me know how you get on. Cheers
 * Sunny
