    I am TRYING to rebuild my blog in Word Press after having an active blog in another blogging platform. So, I am a little frustrated because I can’t seem to do even the simplest things.

    The most frustrating thing right now is I am trying to activate Akismet plugin. I uploaded it into my wp-content-plugin directory. Everything is fine except it will not accept my username or password. I have re-entered all my information in my profile and I have even registered my username. But I still cannot get past the login fields. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

    what will not accept your username and password?

    look at the description of the plugin;

    Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. You need a WordPress.com API key to use it.

    its not your blogs username and password, you need to go to wordpress.com and sign up, it will give you an API key.
