If you mean you want to create a new user account: Admin --> Control Panel Users --> Add New. If you want to create a new plugin use the ''Blank Screen'' plugin as a starting point. Not sure this is what you were asking for.

Ah, got it. On Buzztouch.com, you account page, Self Hosted Servers on left. The next window on the left that opens with your server name, click the server name (it doesn't look like a link). This is where you can change the API key you obtained from Buzztouch. Since the new site is up I'm not exactly sure how the keys are communicated to you, they used to be self installed during the server install process. Hope that helps, clear as mud.

"Generate" not "change" the API key The key has not been obtained yet... Self Hosted Servers You don't have any self hosted servers setup. 1.Download this package 2.Follow the instructions in this guide 3.Get an API Key after it's running on your website Package downloaded - Installed - running - Account upgraded but no API key... Hence the question... where can we Generate an API KEY?

I also received an Dev. account upgrade (thank you!!) but didn't get the chance to install the BT self hosting or generate an API before the big site update. Any ideas?

@FourOne, @Kala: We've added an API key to your control panels. You're not crazy, the link to create a new one does not exist. @WolfTimJ was right, it's part of the upgrade process. But, because you guys were grandfathered in, we took care of it. Be sure to update the details in the key settings (in your buzztouch control panel) before entering the info in your self hosted panels. @ Anonymous: Because you're anonymous, I can't add anything to your control panel - need to know who you are first ;-)

@aapm: Yes, API Keys are available. If you registered before we switched to the new site, there is no fee for this. If you registered after, you'll need to upgrade your account. When you visit your account, look in the top right. If it says "FREE", you'll need to upgrade to the get an API key. If it reads "Developer" we will set one up for you for free because you are grandfathered in.

@David: Thanks for adding the API key to my account, much appreciated! I tried to "update the details in the key settings (in your buzztouch control panel)" as suggested, but can't seem to find it. I looked in every section (left menu when logged in this site) but can't seem to find it.
