While reading through my feeds today I learned from Kim Cavanaugh’s Brain Frieze about the official Library of Congress blog. I went over to have a look and got curious about what software they had running the blog. Maybe it was something about the familiar format of the postmetadata section that got me looking. I looked at the bottom of the page to see if there was a footer stating that it was powered by WordPress. I was not surprised to find no such mention – it’s easy to take that out. I then looked at the page code and found that the meta tag named generator was also gone – another place that WordPress identifies itself unless you change it – but I did find that the code looked very familiar again. I quickly spotted a reference to the “wp-content” folder – it is a WordPress blog running the Library of Congress blog. Here’s proof:

By way of comparison, here is a screenshot of the code from my WordPress blog:
For anyone who might still be skeptical (or who might care) I later found a more obvious reference to WordPress in their blog code:
- Similarity (0.719)
- Kiva (0.719)
- Voting Record (0.719)
- Behind The Caucus (0.567)
- What's in a Name? (0.500)
- Spam Watch - Refinance Loans (RANDOM - 0.348)
