Is there a simple way to see if a web page is Powered by Drupal? By "just looking in the browser".

Preferable by "View Source" in browser or other trivial means.

When I see a good site I get curious about which CMS solution is behind the scenes. And since I tend to use Drupal myself, the first one I should learn to identify is Drupal...

I tried both a Google and a forum search but found no obvious clues.

You can try appending /node to the URL

You could also look for drupal.css

(and for the above trics, /node and /user: they only work if clean urls are enabled. So to be sure, you should check /node, /?q=node and/or /user, /?q=user)

Three great answers in no time at all! Thanks.

As usual with good ideas, they look obvious in retrospect - but only in retrospect.
