2. WordPress blogs are typically configured to present the version in a meta header, like follows:

   <meta name="generator" content="WordPress 3.0.5" /> 
   

   WordPress sites hosted at wordpress.com have:

   <meta name="generator" content="WordPress.com" />
   

   …and I don’t see any version information in their headers.

3. Blind-Elephant does web application fingerprinting. It can detect a version of of the webapp regardless of its version string. It can also go further and detect installed modules.

4. Sounds fun, heh.

   Here are some good points:

   You can also view the source code of the blog, and often times, but not always, see the version there.

   Not sure if you have to be logged in or not to get that. Give it a try.
