  Hi

  I have a wordpress.com account. I have a blog on wordpress.com, but I also have two externally hosted WP blogs. I have one external blog linked and listed under my WordPress.com account. I want to get my other external one linked so basically all three have the same API key. I did the adding/linking of my one external WP blog a while ago, but have for the life of me forgot how to add another.

  Help appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  Brando

  External blogs are linked to your WordPress.com account when you use the WordPress.com Stats plugin.

  I keep getting this message when I enter in my key to the stats plug in. Any ideas?

  —-

  Error from last API Key attempt:

  Bad site URL (hostname invalid or unsupported)

  The WordPress.com Stats Plugin is not working because it needs to be linked to a WordPress.com account.

  Enter your WordPress.com API key to link this blog to your WordPress.com account. Be sure to use your own API key! Using any other key will lock you out of your stats. (Get your key here.)
