 * I try to get an api key for my AKISMET plugin on wordpress.com but I can’t open
   the website. I’m currently in China, so do you think it is blocked or could it
   be down?
    Is there another way to get an api key? This p0rn spam is killing me
   🙁

 * It’s likely blocked. If you search “China” and “wordpress.com” here together 
   you’ll find numerous threads on the issue.
 * Feel free to contact me by email (click Moderator under my name, visit my site
   and find my email address on the sidebar), and I’ll arrange an username and API
   key for you.
