    How can I get an API key - for activating akismet? WHen I fill in the account I see on my blog, I keep getting messages 'invalid password' or 'invalid user name' when using the name and password from the 'my account' page in my blog.
    When trying to get a new account, the programme telss me my mail address is already in use.

    What should I do to find out which codes to use?

    Er you dont your wp passwords to get the akismet kets.

    If you look at Plugins->Akismet Configuration, it actually tells you where (http://wordpress.com/api-keys/)

    Then you need to use your already existing account on wordpress.com and get your key from there.
