    Saving Customized Theme for multiple uploads

    Ok fellas,

    Moving further along in my CP install. To recap...

    I am creating a classified site which uses the exact same theme, structure, pages, etc.
    across multiple cities in a particular area. The only difference is going to be user
    created ad posts, as they will be regionally specific.

    So...
    site.com
    tampa.site.com
    newyork.site.com

    [Same site look, feel, function, header, pages, et al. across the entire network.]

    Is there a way to customize the site ONCE and use this exact customized theme across
    all sites?

    As of now, the only solution I see is to activate the theme each time and go through the
    customization process over and over. But if the majority of information is going to be the same, this
    seems redundant.

    Two main issues to address...
    1. Create a new theme, basically CP, but with my custom info in place. If I name it "classipress",
    there should be no issues, but may cause problems upon upgrade. If I name it "classipress1", may
    cause some broken links when WP tries to access the theme. How do I set it up so that my changes
    are already there?

    2. Migrate categories and pages from the original site. Categories will need to show up blank as
    this is where the user content will go. Pages will be the same content on every site, but how do I get
    them to show up on other sites? More importantly, how do I do it automatically?

    I'm currently using WPMU, which will hopefully help streamline the process. But I imagine any
    process that works on WPMU could still transfer for anyone attempting this on Wordpress.

    Thanks for anyone who has a recommendation.
