first blog

[joshel]

I just completed my first blog on plrpros blog installer, I have never used wordpress.
I have the adsense on the blog, not sure I like where its at. I can change that. I can get to web blog no problem. I do need to add content. so that is the problem.
I have joined WP set up a user name.
I am not sure how to bring the two together.
I am a little lost on how to get to dashboard with my blog.
just need a pointer.

Hi John,

Welcome aboard and congratulations. It took me a couple of months to get the Installer to work.

To get to the dashboard, enter this:

http://www.domain.com/wp-admin

Thanks for the welcome. I was able to register for that particular blog, that gave me the PW I needed, thanks so much.
Now I am in, but (there is always a but huh?) I get a error now in the dashboard.
Akismet is not active. You must enter your WordPress.com API key for it to work.
question is where do I get this key?
where would I enter it?
BTW I appreciate your help

Hi John,

Yes, Marc goes pretty fast on getting the key, but if you click on the label beside the key, I think it says"What this" or something similar, it takes you to another page and in the upper right hand corner, sort of hidden, is the key.

Slow the video down by clicking on the stop button. Then, let it run a second or two and stop it again. You will see what Marc does.

Thanks
I believe Marc went by the akismet and the API key pretty fast, I did not even see it.lol

I did do some research, I found a API key on the WP where I registered for a separate blog, I am not sure if this key will work in the blog built by PLRpro. now on the blog I built through PLRpro, there is no key, there is no where to even place it, In reading up on this, word press was suppose to send it via email. I though maybe it went to bulk, but I did not find, I received my email with password and login. but no API key. I also did some research on akismet and they say to d/l to a file and upload to content folder in word press. I am assuming they mean in the C-panel.
any thoughts on this.
I am trying to be as informative as possible.
If I could find a place to insert key in the blog built by PLRpro I would try.

Hi John,

The first time you get into dashboard there should be a long box across the top right under the dashboard that you click on. This takes you to another with a box for the key.
Beside the box for the key is a question label. Click on that label. It takes you to another page and embedded in the prose I think in the first sentence is the key. Copy the key, go back a page and insert the key in its box.

If you would like to take a look I will be more than glad to give you the user ID /password and link. I just don't see anything and have clicked on everything there is to click on.
the fact of you finding it would sure make me happy.
