  Over the last 24hrs I have received about 20 spam emails from my website contact form. This has rarely happened before and never on this scale. I have downloaded askimet but the problem still persists. How do I resolve this issue?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Aloha aoifeaosullivan, It looks like you are working with a self-hosted WordPress.org site instead of the WordPress.com-hosted version supported here.

  Learn more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

  I would recommend searching on the WordPress.org support forums for similar issues. If you cannot find anything that works, you can start your own thread. The forums are completely separate from each other, so you will need to register an account there if you haven’t done so already.
