  I’m not exactly sure what an API key is. I want to post to my blog through writely.com and I need to enter my blog’s API. I’m not sure what this would be, would it be something like http://swiftlab.wordpress.com/APIKEY?

  Nope, look in your account and you’ll see..voila your API key.

  Actually it’s:

  Dashboard -> Users -> Your profile -> Along the top there.

  Hope this helps,

  I need the URL that I put in the writely blog settings under
  My own server/custom > Blog URL

  Well, if it’s your own server, you need to be over here as this forum is for blogs hosted at WP.com. But to answer your question, I would think where you just installed your WP blog would be the URL.

  No, I’m in the custom catagory. I use wordpress.com.

  AH, that makes sense. (Even I didn’t get that honour.)

  If you’re using the swiftlab ID, it would be http: //swiftlab.wordpress.com

  (Space added to get it to display correctly)

  If it’s not, I don’t have a clue as I would need to know where your blog is. I had thought that staff was setting up those themselves though.

  Actually I stand corrected. If it’s the swiftlab one, add in the http:// to the URL. Not sure why it didn’t take up there.

  “Your WordPress.com API key is: . Don’t share your API key”

  Send feedback to the admin team. They’ll be able to sort it for you.
