 * So, I am hosting a blog on my server and recently went to add the stats program.
   That being said, I either don’t have or cannot find my API key, which means the
   stats plugin won’t work. Does anyone know what I should do to either get my API
   key (not in my profile) or to make this work differently? Thanks in advance,
 * God Bless,
    Zach

 * The API key is something given to you when you create a WordPress.com account.
 * Go to [http://wordpress.com](http://wordpress.com) and sign up for an account.
   There’s an option to get an “account only” instead of a full blog. Do that, then
   look at your profile page there, on wordpress.com. The API key will be given 
   to you and you can copy/paste it into your own site.
