Hi All : relatively new to this web world and was wondering when I see a WP theme that I like rather than looking for footer links- how can I tell what theme they're running?- in the page source? couldn't find it that way.....
cool-thanks

    when viewing the source, look for their image or css directory. Most of the time, the directory those are in is a directory with the name of the theme. Take that name, and if you've never hear of it, do a G search for "directory/theme wp theme". 9 out of 10 times, you'll find what you need.

    If it is a WP site there MUST be such a line in the head section:

    <link href="http://example.com/wp-content/themes/THEME_NAME_HERE/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

    After that you just need to search for the theme name. If you are smart enough you can copy/paste the stylehseet link in your browser's address bar and have a look at the stylesheet. Quite often it tells you the name of the author and their URL...
