Easier way to set up blogs?

    O.k..

    See http://reveretaxi.com How I have the pages and drop down menus?

    I need it to look like that on 53 other domain names.

    I don't want to have to set up the pages manually on all 53 domains.

    Is there an easier way to go about it ? No way to do it by copying files with ftp...anything?

    Willing to consider anything other then the time consuming process of doing this by hand.

    I dont think that would fit my needs Salasei.

    My problem is not multiple users... I need 42 domains to have the same layout that I already have set up on one domain.

    Backup your original, restore it in to the new domain, then tweak. See this: codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

    I'd get a cPanel Host. Get everything ready. Make a backup.

    Then I'd have the host do the installs for you. They have tools on their end that allows them to easily copy the sites.

    You might have to pay a little extra, and you'll want to make sure they will do this for you before you start.

    You'll also want to address how to change the MySQL database path references with them before you start.

    Can you have multiple domains sharing the same database yet have each maintain a unique look? I got my problem solved by hiring someone from here but I am wondering if it would have been easier to have each domain share a database... probably not right?

    This week I am going to be devoting my time to make each domain auto blog.. I need to learn more about this but I want rss feeding into each page to add content. I plan on putting in some of my own unique content but want the autoblog feature just to flesh it out.
