 * The API key I have on file does not seem to be the correct one. It is not accepted
   by plug-ins requiring the API number.
 * I am using the latest version of WordPress with the Atahualpa 3.4.9 by BytesForAll
   theme.
 * My dashboard does not show an API key number.
 * My user profile does not show an API key number.
 * I do not know how to find the correct API number or get a new one.
 * As an early adopter of the computer (30 years), this is one of the most frustrating
   situations I have ever experienced.
 * Where do I find the API number or how do I get a new one?

 * It depends what plugins are requesting an API key.

 * If I sign up for a new … will I get an API key I can use for this blog I’ve already
   established?
 * Or do I have to start all over?

 * Yes, if you get a new account on wp.com, you can use that on any of your own 
   sites. 🙂 you don’t need to reset your own site,

 * I signed up for a new account at wordpress.com snd entered the new API key…the
   stats are now installed
 * Funny the Dave Lighthart stats still show my previous API Key associated w/ my
   blog–and when I change it to the new key–it changes back to the old key. Oh well!
 * This is one of the most convoluted systems I have ever used–however the stats
   are now installed–using the new key.
 * Many thanks for that small miracle.
