 * Before launching my website, I built it in a separate directory. Whilst testing
   stuff, I installed the wordpress.com stats plugin. On wordpress.com, my primary
   domain was bananasaboutmovies.com/mb
 * However, I’ve since moved all the WordPress files to my root directory, and now
   I want to change the primary domain, in my wordpress.com dashboard, to just plain
   bananasaboutmovies.com. Can’t seem to do it from my wordpress.com dashboard. 
   And if I do, does that mean I need a new API key? Am I allowed to even have one?
   How does this affect Akismet?
 * If I’m honest, I find the whole thing a bit confusing. 🙂
