API key; insanely hard to find/get working

  • Is this intentionally really difficult or does the system just hate me.

    I have a few plugins asking for API keys which I dont have.

    How do I obtain them?

  • which plugin? Akismet?

    sign up for an account here:
    https://wordpress.com

    And you will get the API key..

    I have done…

    But whenever I type that API in it says ‘The key you entered could not be verified because a connection to akismet.com could not be established. Please check your server configuration.’

    And when I try wordpress.com stats i get this message:

    ‘Your blog was unable to connect to WordPress.com. Please ask your host for help. (transport error – could not open socket: 13 Permission denied)’

    What the hell is happening?

    yes, akismet had some issues… make sure you are using the latest version of aksimet.

    Not sure abt wordpress.com stats issue..

    Hmmm…

    That does appear to be the same problem, but unfortunately I am not with aplus.net

    I’m with freehostia.com

    Anyone know a fix for freehostia?
