 * 1) [http://wpmututorials.com/how-to/change-the-default-theme-for-sites-without-a-plugin/](http://wpmututorials.com/how-to/change-the-default-theme-for-sites-without-a-plugin/)
 * Basically, something like this on your config file:
    define(‘WP_DEFAULT_THEME’,‘
   classic’);
 * where ‘classic’ is replaced with the folder name of your theme.
 * 2) Whatever theme you want to use on your main site, do _not_ network activate.
   Just apply it manually via Network Admin -> Sites -> Edit Sites -> Theme 🙂
