How to easily detect whether a blog is built on Blogger or wordpress platform

Wondering whether that blog is built on Wordpress or Blogger?

Today in the blogosphere, Blogger blogs and Wordpresss bogs appear to be the most common and most used blogging platforms.

You can always have a great and attractive design on both platforms based on how well you customize their templates.

Several times, I have been confronted by many asking me how they could easily know the platform a blog is built on, so I now decided to use this opportunity to put it up here to show you how you can easily do that.

Though there are different ways you can use to determine whether a blog is powered by Blogger or Wordpress, for instance, most of the blogs carry their pride credentials on the footer of their page either clearly indicating powered by Blogger or Wordpress.

But you and I know that it is not in all cases that those credentials are found there, which might actually be as result of the owner deliberately making away with them or for some other reasons, and in such case you notice that it now becomes a bit complex to tell whether the blog is powered by Blogger or Wordpress.

Now for you to be able to easily detect whether a blog is powered by blogger or Wordrpess, here are the simple things you should follow;

= => To check for Wordpress powered blog, simply use the online tool Isitwp. Visit isitwp and just type in the url of the blog that we want to check for in the space provided there, and hit the check to find out button. A result will be shown to you telling you if it is Wordpress or not.

= => Now to check for Blogger powered blog, simply type the url of the blog in your browser address bar and include /?m=1 at the end of the url. When you do that, the mobile version of the blog will load without any error. Even if the mobile version of the blog was disabled from the Blogger dashboard, the desktop version will still load without any error and the /?m=1 will just change to /?m=0 in that case.

But whenever you do that and get pager not found error, you should know that that blog is not powered by blogger.

So those are the simplest ways you can easily determine a Blogger powered and Wordpress powered blog.

Alternatively, you can also just right click anywhere on the page and use your Ctrl + F button to find wp-content. For Worpress powered blog you will find plenty of the wp-content but for blogger you will not find such.
