    Wordpress is usually fairly easy to spot, somewhere in the source code (in the head section) you'll normally find a line as follows which loads the themes style sheet:
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.whatever.com/wp-content/themes/themename/style.css" />

    the wp-content directory gives away the fact that this is powered by wordpress

    Website source code helps, if it doesn't then knowledge of files structure will always give the right answer.
