 * Have to generate 3 API keys to get one valid.
 * Seems that API keys work only for one address. blog.com, [http://www.blog.com](http://www.blog.com)
   and [http://www.blog.com](http://www.blog.com) generate different API keys.
 * The form that is used to create API keys is confusing. Why the fomr is nopt getting
   hidden after sending the key?
 * Statistics do not or, it says “invalid API key” when the key I’ve entered is 
   valid.
 * There’s too many bugs on a plugin that should be used to improve security. I’ve
   uninstalled it and put it on my plugin’s blacklist.
 * Sorry.

 * I’m sorry but I have to disagree. It is logic for the form to remain because 
   you may have multiple sites (for example I run 3 sites).
 * The statistics (for my sites at least) work.
 * And the API Keys are invalid only if you did not enter the site in the specified
   format at the sign-up form. Actually I had the same problem at first. But I dont
   consider a form that it’s not fool-proof a bug. The plugin itself works very 
   well and I got rid of tons of comment spams. Again, it has room for improvement
   at the sign-up form.

 * **You only need to register once**, but you have to do it right. As it says on
   the sign-up page:
 * > Make sure you enter the Site URL in the format: [http://www.site.com](http://www.site.com).
   > The “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221); part in the URL is mandatory.
 * Another thing to keep in mind: each API Key is issued for a specific domain. 
   If you try to use the API Key for a different domain that the one specified in
   the sign-up form it won’t work. So, make sure that you use the API Key on the
   website you specified.
 * To fmonteiro: What do you mean by statistics not working?
