    I’m told to place my API key. Have no clue what that means

    And under discussion and settings it talks about comment moderation. comment blacklist and avatars. I don’t know how to put this situation into those requests.

    Set up an account at https://wordpress.com/ (ACCOUNT, you don’t need a blog so watch the little check boxes).

    Then in Global Dashboard >> Profile >> Personal Settings you will find an API key.

    Set comments to moderated or approved then even if they get by Akismet they will not be posted.

    I already have a blog. I went on this page wordpress.com, and have no idea what to do next. I wish I did. But I don’t.

    This forum is for self hosted blogs. You need to be here.

    If you also have a blog on WordPress.COM then you ALREADY have an API key. Just follow the instructions I gave earlier. to find the key.

    If your blog is only one on WordPress.COM then I think the API key is already done for Askimet.
