 * I have set up a WordPress account through my web site hosting using fantastico
   in the control panel. My account is fitnesshealthnutrition blog. I can log in
   ok and have published one blog. I want to get the API key but don’t know where
   to go to get it. When I am in my WordPress account there is nothing to click 
   on – I keep getting directed to setting up an external WordPress account which
   is obviosly wrong. Any ideas?

 * Hi there, just set up an account wih wordpress.com
    You don’t have to have an
   extra blog, just an account, once you have an account, log in and it will be 
   in your profile. hope this helps. mike.

 * Hi
 * I went to my account [http://fitnesshealthnutrition.org/blog/wp-admin/](http://fitnesshealthnutrition.org/blog/wp-admin/)
   and logged in. This takes me straight into dashboard – I clicked on ‘Your profile’
   but there is no API key anywhere. I have clicked on everything and still no API
   key.
 * I am the Administrator and the only person with access to this account.
 * Is there any way of sending WordPress a support ticket on this matter?

 * Hi there, I think the confusion is that you are talking about logging into your
   own personal blog fitnesshealthnutrition.
    The API key will not be there. You
   need a wordpress.com account, which is different. You don’t need a blog with 
   them, just an account, once you have this your API will be in the profile on 
   that account. Hope this helps to clarify. I know its confusing. Mike. PS wordpress
