I have had this car for 7 years and the following issue just started last week. I tried starting my car and when I turned the key, the starter would not turn, found out it blew the 20amp "ignition" fuse from the relay fuse center, under the front hood. This happened again, yesterday and then again today. After much research, I found out it could be a fuse, something connected to the fuse or a short.

Sure would be helpful to know which engine you have. Start by looking at the wiring harness going to the two or four oxygen sensors. If it fell down onto hot exhaust parts, the wire feeding the heaters could be grounding out intermittently. That same circuit also feeds the ignition coils or coil pack, injectors, and alternator field. Of all of those things, it's usually an oxygen sensor that is involved in a blowing fuse.
