 * Hi,
    Is it possible to use this plugin from site admin? As the admin of a blognetwork
   I like to choose a template for the new blog I create.

 * Ditto. Can’t figure out how to employ this template when I (admin) create a new
   site.

 * There doesn’t seem to be a way to intervene in the site creation on the Admin
   screen. Any thoughts on a possible workaround?

 * Hi Michael,
 * Great plugin!! Thank you very much for developing and sharing! This plugin is
   very close to what I am looking for however I noticed a few things while testing–
 * In my original blog I had created custom post types – the post types had transitioned
   over but any of the posts I had made within those post types had not –
 * Also in the settings > Reading > I had set up a static front page as well as 
   designated which page is to be used for the blog posts – for some reason in the
   new cloned blog from the template these settings were ignored when the new blog
   was set up.
 * When setting up a new site / blog I have noticed that the radio button is visible
   in all new blog / new site registrations but it only actually works if you are
   logged in. Also I noticed that if you are logged in as “super admin” it works
   but if you are logged in as a user that was created and try to activate an additional
   site under your user name then the custom menu created in the original blog template(
   appearance > menu) gets created and is listed in the drop down menu and its active
   but the menu somehow got erased and is basically an empty shell and leaves no
   menu visible on the new cloned blog.
 * Do you see these as possible bugs you would be able to fix?
 * Again thank you very much!
 * Tom
