  I am a teacher and have a blog for each class. It is a new semester and I would like to keep the set up of my current pages. I want to keep everything the same (links, widgets, all but the name). Please help.

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

  I do not know how to help you as you have not clearly stated what you wish to do. The blog linked to your username is already set up apparently in the manner you wish to retain. Are you asking how to create other blogs that are the same or not?
  Are you asking how to copy pages? Please provide more information.

  I’m afraid there’s no automatic way to do this. You’ll have to set up each blog by hand and choose widgets, etc. That said, it’s no more than a few hours’ work once a year.

  What if you had a Category for the new year? Use a custom menu to let people sort by year.

  Thanks. I was attempting to copy the entire format of my current blog pages under a new name. Right now, I have an Earth Science page and a Physical Science page and need to add a Biology page. I don’t have hours to spend on it so I am just going to start the new semester where I left off last semester. The students don’t care but I didn’t really want to do it. I will have time to set up new pages for next year.

  Then set categories like Biology 2012, then next year stop using it and use Biology 2013, etc, and put those category pages in your header via Custom Menus.
