 * I installed WordPress on my site through BlueHost.com, and now I’d like to use
   the “ShareThis” feature on other blogs (sending it back to my blog to share),
   but when I select ShareThis, it asks me to log-in using my WordPress ID. Since
   I installed WordPress through my hosting company, I don’t have an ID that’s linked
   to my blog.
 * My blog is located at [http://www.vmracingleague.com](http://www.vmracingleague.com)
 * Does anyone know how I can resolve this?

 * I’m guessing that the ‘WordPress ID’ You’re referring to is probably the WordPress.
   com API Key, which you can use on a wordpress.com site, or your own hosted site
   as long as you have an account with wordpress.com. Try using that or, if there
   is a different ID, just take the one from your existing wordpress.com account
   and use it.
