    I am sure there is an answer somewhere, I just cannot find it.

    Here is what I want to achieve, by either coding or simple plugin.

    I have multisite setup, and I would like to easily allow my employees to login, and create a new site on the fly without having to enable/select a theme and create pages.

    I want one page and one theme, already setup and that one page and theme to be used as the default. Basically, all they will have to do is login, add site, then just add the content, and publish.

    Set the default theme.
    http://wpmututorials.com/how-to/change-the-default-theme-for-sites-without-a-plugin/

    then change the default page/post content.
    yoursite -> Super Admin -> Options.

    Then direct them to yourdomain.com/wp-signup.php. There is where they can make a new site. Make a link to it on themain page if you have to. It’s also under the Dashboard menu item, under “my sites” for any user.

    If you’re using an LDAP plugin or something else to sync logins with their current usernames for whatever system you have, just set the registration option to “Logged in users may register new sites.”

    again, this is under the Super Admin -> Options menu.

    So far so good, thanks! However, the initial posts page/post is still there (though the post was removed from the options section)

    How can I get that to not show up with every site creation?

    Best you can do is set it to draft. A default post and page pretty much have to be there somehow.

    Well, I got the comments section to not show up for new sites, that was easy.

    Now, getting the static page and page template is the next task. I believe that is a database thing, however it must be possible.

    Suggestions anyone?

    Maybe create a home.php calling out a front-page.php that has some wp line setting page-(slug/id) as the default? Then the same type of line calling a single.php or something for a single column page template?
