Akismet
From The Lyceum Wiki
[edit]
Obtaining a wordpress.com API Key for use with Akismet
- Go to wordpress.com.
- Click "Get a WordPress Blog Now" in the upper right (you are only doing this to establish an account for akismet spam filtering-- you will not actually have a blog at wordpress.com)
- Create a username and enter your email address. Then, you MUST select "Gimme a blog!". As of this writing, if you only create an account then you won't have a key for Akismet.
- After you get the verification email and you are logged in, in the far upper left, visit My Account -> Edit Profile.
- At the top of your profile page you will see your WordPress.com API key. It will be a long series of numbers and letters.
More information can be found at the WordPress documentation and the WordPress.com FAQ
