  Hi, how can I get the 30+ spam e-mails a day I’m getting on my blog to stop?

  Hi there,

  Is your site hosted with us at WordPress.com or is it a self-hosted site?

  Bluehost hosts the site.

  Thanks for that! Since your site is hosted with Bluehost and not WordPress.com, we cannot access files or data for your site and WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers.

  You can find more information here about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com:

  You can reach out to your host for help with this if you’re getting email spam. Or, if it’s a problem with spam comments or contact form submissions and you’re using the Akismet plugin, you can reach out to Akismet support for help here:

  I hope that helps!
