 * I have WPMU installed (I know its not the wpmu forum but someone might still 
   know) and I would like to add a second default page to each blog that is created.
   Let’s say when you register a blog you automatically have the page ‘About’ and
   then also ‘Example’.
 * How can I achieve that? I know I have to edit the wpmu-functions.php file but
   what do I have to do?
 * Thanks!! I appreciate any hints!

 * Don’t know how MU does it but in the wp-content folder, define a file called 
   install.php, and in that put a wp_install_default function. Since a default category
   of some kind is assumed, it’s a good idea to create a least one category (code
   example derived from /wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php):
 *     ```
       <?php
         function wp_install_defaults() {
           global $wpdb;
           // Default category
           $cat_name = $wpdb->escape(__('Uncategorized'));
           $cat_slug = sanitize_title(_c('Uncategorized|Default category slug'));
           $wpdb->query("INSERT INTO $wpdb->terms (name, slug, term_group) VALUES ('$cat_name', '$cat_slug', '0')");
           $wpdb->query("INSERT INTO $wpdb->term_taxonomy (term_id, taxonomy, description, parent, count) VALUES ('1', 'category', '', '0', '1')");
           }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * You would need to add your code to create your pages there–see wp-admin/includes/
   upgrade.php for the example of the About page.

 * Thanks for your response MichaelH!
 * I was wondering if I could add another page by simply editing the file wpmu-funtions.
   php? Here is an extract of the file:
 *     ```
       // First page
       	$wpdb->insert( $wpdb->posts, array(
       		'post_author' => $user_id,
       		'post_date' => $now,
       		'post_date_gmt' => $now_gmt,
       		'post_content' => get_site_option( 'first_page' ),
       		'post_excerpt' => '',
       		'post_title' => __('About'),
       		'post_name' => __('about'),
       		'post_modified' => $now,
       		'post_modified_gmt' => $now_gmt,
       		'post_status' => 'publish',
       		'post_type' => 'page',
       		'to_ping' => '',
       		'pinged' => '',
       		'post_content_filtered' => ''
       	) );
   
       	// Flush rules to pick up the new page.
       	$wp_rewrite->init();
       	$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
       ```
   
 * Wouldn’t it be possible to just add another page, “//Second Page” for example!?
