it is so I can use it myself? I'm hoping that there is an easy way to determine which theme is being used for any wordpress site.

There is no way to know. I would simply contact the webmaster as the templates are not proprietary. They can answer your question easilly by checking their 'appearance --> themes" tab within WordPress.

Bear in mind the generic Wordpress themes are customizable if you play with the wordpress editor. So what someone else has on their website may not be the exact generic template format. You may need to play with it a bit.

Many WordPress sites will actually have a theme credit on the page somewhere; of the three I run, two have a theme credit in the footer, the third has it in the sidebar. (All of these themes have been modified to some extent.)

Lacking that, read the page source and see if there's an "import URL" line for the stylesheet: if there is, it may include the directory of the theme, which typically in WordPress has the same name as the theme (under wp-content/themes).
