API use on an external site

  1. I was wondering if it were possible to use the API key that i recieved from my wordpress account with a Blog on another site. ie. www."personalwebsite".com Or can I link the www."mysite".wordpress.com to my personalsite?

  2. If your personnel website is using WP.org software and have installed the Akismet plugin you can use the API key to activate the plugin.

  3. I'm having problems with this exact thing.

    I just signed up for a wordpress.com account and got an API key. I go to my own (previously configured) site and enter the new API key in the Akismet plugin configuration. It tells me that this API key is not correct. I double-checked it, and it's the same one I was given.

    What's going on?

  4. Oh. Looks like this thread has some more info on it. Might be an issue regarding our hosts' firewalls blocking connections to Akismet.com.

    On a different note, I wish there was a search function for these forums.

    From the Start a new thread bit:

    Before posting a new topic, be sure to search to see if one has been started already.

    About a half an inch above the start a new thread box. :)

    I suggested it to be made more visable via a feedback but I guess not....

  6. Ahh. I see.

    Yes, I'd have to agree that it should be a little more prominent. Typically when I look for a search function, I look for a text form with a 'search' button. I wouldn't look in the section prominently labeled "Add New Topic."

    Thanks for the pointer.

  7. Actually it should be on the forum's home page. Not on a subforum down towards the bottom. Let's be perfectly honest. :)

    Granted, though. It's not their forum software/ plug in. It's someone elses.
