Is is possible by looking at the code what cms or blogging software it uses? Or maybe there's a site that keeps track of this type of thing?
 
Generally no, but many platforms either say so anyway or have characteristic behaviour/code/layout/structure, though this depends entirely on what the platform is.

Not really. Some amateur or semi-professional sites will have the CMS stored in www.site.com/drupal or www.site.com/joomla etc which is a bit of a giveaway. Others have only really themed their site in terms of colour and left the default menus and layouts which again hint at which CMS is in use. Some keep the footer icons that tell you what CMS is in use and sometimes you can look in the source code and sometimes Joomla, Drupal etc are mentioned.

The more professional sites and those made by erm geeks are a little hard to work out. :p
 
Have a look in the source code of the website - occasionally there will be a hint in there (especially for Wordpress!).

Also look at the CSS links, some of them give it away.
