 * Hi.
 * I’m trying to install Akismet, but I can’t find my API code. Nothing appears 
   when I view the my account page like the FAQ page says. I also can’t find any
   reference to it in the first e-mail I received from WP.
 * Any suggestions?
 * Thanks,
    Michael

 * Thanks, but I’ve already read this and followed what it said. The API does not
   appear when I click on ‘My Account’
