 * I have successfully set up a blog at
 * [http://www.pacfs.org/wp/](http://www.pacfs.org/wp/)
 * and thus have the “password” and other access information I need. But there is
   no API key listed in the place where it is supposed to be, and I was never e-
   mailed the key. Is there a way to request it be sent again?
 * Thanks for any help.

 * You get the API key as part of registering for a free blog at WordPress.COM. 
   Don’t worry, you don’t have to use the blog, but that’s where you’ll get the 
   key. (Assuming we’re talking about Akismet)

 * I tried setting up another blog as per your instructions, the when I went to 
   _use_ the key, at my pre-existing WordPress blog, it was rejected. Yes–I’m trying
   to use Akismet. Thanks a million for any further help.

 * I tried it a second time, and it worked. Thanks again.
