Get an account at WordPress.com without a blog

It has now become possible to get a WordPress.com account without getting a free WordPress blog. WordPress.com has updated the registration page

If you ask me, I say this is a good idea as it helps bloggers who want an API key for the Akismet plugin without getting a blog. You can also leave comments on blogs that require sign-in, without getting a blog for yourself.

This is useful for WordPress.com also as they can now save system resources on empty blogs
