How to Find Out Who Owns a WordPress Blog

1. Look for a menu labeled 'About,' 'Author' or 'Contact.' Typically, you can find blog menus across the blog header or within a sidebar. Most WordPress bloggers will have a little blurb about themselves in one of these sections. If you cannot find any menu with contact information or author credits, continue to step two.
2. Scroll down to the very bottom of the blog. Across the footer of the page, you will likely see text similar to the following:Design Template by Awesome Blogs. Powered by WordPress.Many templates also contain an author credit in the footer notes, such as:Copyright 2011, Jane Doe.If there is not footer credit visible, continue to step three.

3. Perform a WHOIS search for the WordPress blog's domain name. This will only be possible if the blog's owner has WordPress set up on their own Web server account, rather than through WordPress.com. WHOIS refers to the registration information associated with a domain name. This includes the Web host and the owner of the site. There are many search engines designed to search for WHOIS info by domain name. Examples include Network Solutions, Domain Tools and Who.is. As WHOIS info includes the personal contact information of the domain's owner, some domain users choose to purchase privacy protection for their WHOIS details. If this is the case with the owner of the WordPress blog you are searching for, you will only be able to see the name of the domain registrar to which they have subscribed.
