 * I created the blog through Fantastico on Lunar Pages. I have read carefully and
   cannot find my API key. Additionally I tried to create an account (no blog just
   the account) through wordpress directly with no luck there either. (that was 
   suggested on a forum.) Any help out there?

    I have tried to change my e-mail, but I have
   no API key. Then I uninstall and install for 3 times, but it ‘s still happen 
   that the API key is gone. No confirmation by e-mail. What should I do?

 * You are supposed to get the API key from WordPress.com, not sure if that’s what
   you did.

 * I’ve had an account with WP for a year and had an API key but now when I look
   for it in ALL the areas its supposed to be ( on wordpress.org and on my blog,
   not hosted on WP servers), I see absolutely no key…
 * Is there something going on with they keys?
 * Thx

 * Hi, I have the same problem. I set up WordPress through Fantastico on Siteground.
   There is no API key. Any support from WordPress support would be appreciated,
   even if it’s to say that you don’t have an answer. Thanks.

 * If you have Akismet loaded it should show up on your Akismet pages in the admin
   area.

 * Hi,
 * I have ASkimet loaded, I’m not sure what you mean by the askimet page sinthe 
   Admin area. I’ve activated Askimet as a plug in and its now obviously still asking
   me for the famous API key; which is nowhere to be seen, either on my blogs or
   here on the wordpress site in My Account.

 * I signed up for a wordpress account to get an API key. However, after placing
   the key to my WordPress Blog Stats, this error comes up:
 * ====================
    Error from last API Key attempt:
 * Missing API Key
    ====================
 * Before this error appeared, I was directed to a page that states the following:
 * ======================
    WordPress.com Stats
 * The API key “##########” belongs to the WordPress.com account of “adminnevergirl”.
   If this is not your account, please re-enter your API key.
 * According to the WordPress.com database, this API key is already associated with
   at least one self-hosted blog. You can add this as a new blog on your WordPress.
   com account or replace an existing blog and inherit its stats history.
    Add new
   blog to my account
 * Do this if this blog is new or has never been associated with your API key. This
   blog will be added to your WordPress.com account.
 * ===========================
 * The account “adminnevergirl” is the account which I made so I can get the API.
   Until now my stats is still not working.
 * Please advice.
 * Thank you for your time.

 * Was getting the same error, but the error didn’t accurately reflect what the 
   problem was. The problem was the another WordPress.com account already “owned”
   that blog.
 * This is what fixed my problem:
