  I am helping a fellow teacher create a new wordpress site for her class. She would like 6 separate sites that all have the same features and set up, but will contain different content (one site for each class).

  Is there a way to duplicate her set up? or does she have to do that individually for each site?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  At WordPress.com, one has to do it separately for each site. With a WordPress.org install, she could set them all up together.

  There is a good bit that would have to be done manually for each blog (theme choice, widgets and arrangement of the sidebar, custom menu to name a few).

  If they have a few base pages and categories that they are going to use on each, they could get things done on one site and the export that site and import it into the other sites. That would give them a head start on some of it at least.
