 * Hi,
    I’m trying to sign up to akismet but it is telling me that I need a WordPress.
   com account.
 * I don’t have a wordpress.com blog, I just have wordpress (the wordpress.org open
   source solution) installed on my website.
 * What should I do to get the API key?
 * This is a pic of what I’m seeing when I try to sign up for a Pro Akismet account–
