 * Hi,
 * I was wondering if someone could help me find my API Key to activate my Akismet
   plug-in. I am using an outside host, I have checked all possible email addresses
   and my dashboard profile.
 * This is perhaps one of the easiest things to do, but quite frankly I am pretty
   frustrated. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 * Lance

 * Do you have a WordPress.**com** account. Your API key will be found under that
   profile.
 * Here is a link to more information in the codex:
