    I started a Wordpress blog and downloaded a Wordpress ZIP file with css and php scripts. When I registered I received an Akismet key, which is supposed to control spam.

    How do they all fit together?

    If my memory is correct you enter it when you activate the plug-in.

    when you activate the akismet plugin it would ask you for this key. Enter the key and you can activate the plugin.

    Akismet filters comment spam.

    It works great and you should activate it.

    Yes, the key is needed to activate the plug-in.

    One key can work for multiple activations.

    Go to your Dashboard- Plugins.

    There you will see Akismet. Use the key to activate the plugin.
