I am trying to locate the wordpress.com API key to finish the installation of the akismet plugin.
It says it is off the "My account" profile page -- but I cannot find the bloody thing and have tried every link on the page in hopes of finding it.
Is there any other place it could be - or can I fill out a form to get the wordpress gods to e-mail it to me?

[Well, I should really read....]
Sorry. Okay, so you're looking at the very very top of your user page in the wordpress.com profile?

Yes... I believe so... when I go to the administration panel for my blog or I log in here to try and get support.
I go to each of the "My account" or "my profile" pages and I don't see any API key listed in either...
tried both in FF 1.5.0.1 and IE.... but no luck

ok, here is the issue i am seeing with this as i am trying to get this thing on as well....
i dont have a wordpress.com account, i do have a wordpress.org account for support and my blog is hosted elsewhere....
so, WP2.01 is logged into and i go to MY ACCOUNT at top corner and there is NOTHING about an API key in there...
remember this is NOT of WP.com.
so, do i have to start another blog login on wordpress.com to get a key and have an account i wont really use? ever?
so, where else can i get a key?

troppmann: yes. There is no where else to get a key.
tryrugby: you have to look at the wordpress.com blog's Your Profile page. If you don't have a wordpress.com blog, see reply to troppmann.

That seems to be the same thing that I'm facing -- my blog is hosted other places and I have a login to post here -- but is that the same thing (i.e. - is it supposed to give me access to an API key?)

thanx for your help.
editorial: seems kind of a waste to have to have a login to you all to just a get a key and then not even use the blog i am creating.
anyway can i create a login without creating a new blog on WP.com?

No. You have to have a wordpress.com blog to get an API key for Akismet.
Of course, you get better functionality from Bad Behavior and Spam Karma 2 anyway....
