 * I cannot find my WordPress API key. It is not included in my profile. Do I not
   get one if WordPress is not my site host? (My sites are hosted by NetFirms.com.)
   I am trying to install the Akismet plug in to control spam, and I need the WordPress
   API key to do it.
 * If I don’t have one, can you send me one?

 * I got mine when I signed up with wordpress.com. Did you do that? Anyway, go there,
   register and that will get you the API key for Akismet.
 * I think so.
