 * I’m getting this message from Akismet:
 * “Akismet is almost ready. You must enter your WordPress.com API key for it to
   work.”
 * Can someone tell me where I can find my WordPress.com API key?
 * Thanks,
 * Heidi

 * Edit your profile on wordpress.com (this requires going to wordpress.com and 
   creating an account).
 * When you edit your profile, you should see a printed line right at the top of
   the screen that contains your API key.

 * Thank you for the lightening quick reply!
 * When I’m in my Profile, under “Users” – I do not see any printed line at the 
   top of the screen. Am I in the wrong area?
 * I’m using 2.8 btw.

 * You need to go to [wordpress.com](http://www.wordpress.com), not your personal
   blog.

 * Do you need an new API key for each blog? I am guessing so so each will identify
   each blog separately?
