 * I just installed BruteProtect to a multisite set-up (that for reasons I won’t
   go into only has one site). I didn’t enter an API (there was no need to get one)
   because the message says my API was accepted….automatically? I get a blank widget
   in the dashboard so that’s at least partly working.
 * Do I need an API or not?
 * THANKS

 * Hey Mad Dog– there will be an update to BP that I’m just putting some finishing
   touches on that will officially add multisite support. Look for it in the next
   few hours, update, and let me know if that clears it up. Our servers won’t work
   with your site without an API key.

 * I got the update notice this morning, updated, and it asked for the API key. 
   I got it, entered it, and it says all is good. THANKS!
 * If it seems to work well I’ll install it on my other sites (25+) and recommend
   it to other developers.
