If you want to get a WordPress.com account without getting a free WordPress blog, it is possible now. WordPress.com has updated the registration page for you.

wordpress.com account

There are a few reasons for getting a WordPress.com account without a blog:

  • Leave comments on blogs that require signing in.
  • If you only want WordPress.com API key (for Akismet anti spam).
  • If you’re a writer of an existing blog but do not want to have your own blog.
  • For future WordPress.com members only features.

My two cents

This is nice! I guess many WordPress bloggers would want to get a WP.com API key without creating another blog. We don’t need to create unnecessary blogs, and WordPress.com can save system resources on empty blogs.

By the way, can we get a blog after registering for a WordPress.com account?

  • It's about time.

    I already have my own blog but had to create a new one (unused) at WordPress.com just so I can get the API no to activate Akismet anti spam tool.
  • true, wondered why they take so long to do it!
  • By the way, could we get a blog later after register WordPress.com account?


    Your subdomain is blocked, e.g. username.wordpress.com just incase you decide to create a blog later.
  • I just registered an account guess what .. without a username.wordpress.com blog. All I need is the API.
    Thanks for the info
