 * Hello again,
    I uploaded the new version of WP on my own server, and I would 
   like to activate the Akismet plugin, but it requires the api key and I do not
   know where to find it, because I have never received the activaction email when
   I created the first account.
 * May someone help me pleeease?
 * Thank you very much!
