## Description

This WPMU plugin sets up a template system for new blogs. When a new blog is created
it can have a template applied to it. These templates allow for these blog options
to be set:

 * Blog options.(Privacy, Theme, Moderation, etc)
 * Extra posts to be created.
 * Extra pages to be created.
 * Extra links to be created.
 * Extra page categories to be created.

A default template can be created if all you are after is a single set of new blog
defaults.

## Installation

To install the plugin:

 1. Upload `gb-blog-templates.php` to the `/wp-content/mu-plugins/` directory
 2. Go to Site Admin -> Blog Templates to configure any templates required.

If a template called ‘default’ is created then it will be applied to all new blogs
unless another template has been selected.

The plugin adds the following interfaces/hooks:

 1. An administration interface is added to the Site Admin menu.
 2. A template selection field is inserted into the signup page.
 3. New blogs created through the Site Admin->Blogs menu will have the template named‘
    default’ applied.
