  I used Dreamhost’s 1-click install to get WordPress up and running on my website.
  I was wondering if I even get an API key doing it that way. (from reading on this site, you ONLY get an API if you register here, and that would only provide info for the blog you’d host here as well). If Dreamhost’s install of WordPress comes with an API key, where do I find it? It’s not under My Profile. How do I get an API key?

  Hi there,

  In order to get an API key you need to regsiter for an account here at WordPress.com.

  See how to find it once you’ve got your account:

  Thanks. That worked.

  I already had a WordPress blog, but I didn’t realize I also needed to register for a WordPress account in order to get an API key. I registered and received a key, which is working fine with WordPress plugins that require an API key.
