OK, I think I got it. Basically, I think I just setup a blog and not a WordPress account when I set up the site. You only get a API Key when you sign up for a WordPress account which I just did and saw the API Key. I then went to my blog admin Dashboard and entered that key and didn’t get an error message or anything so I think Akismet is good to go now.
I already signed up a while ago and have an account. My blog is located at http://www.partygps.com/blog/. But I went back and my welcome email never had a API key in it and it’s not listed in the section it should be. Did I maybe sign up for a different type of account?
I am activating Akismet by going to the plug-in section in WordPress admin.
I think the problem is with my host, media temple.
