 * Odd issue with this plugin, for me. I installed it and activated it just fine,
   and then I was asked to enter my API key. After I did that, though, I got this
   message:
 * “The owner of that API Key (frothy) is not on the access list for this blog. 
   When this blog was registered, frothy’s API key was used. To add you to the access
   list, frothy must visit this blog’s stats dashboard page and use the form at 
   the bottom of that page.”
 * That’s me. I’m the admin of the blog and the ONLY user registered with it at 
   this time. I registered the blog myself. I’m logged in under frothy. So I’m putting
   my own API in (and as you can see, the plugin acknowledges that it’s indeed “
   frothy”‘s API), but the plugin/WordPRess doesn’t seem to think I’m me.
 * I’m also not sure what form the message up there is referring to; there isn’t
   one on my Dashboard page.
 * Anyone have an idea?
