I wanted to use one theme, for multiple blogs on a WPmu install, with ability ... ONLY to define a choice of head.gif and matching style sheet.
What I mean by that is that I wanted a blog farm where all the blogs looked the same ... EXCEPT for the choice of a matching head.gif and style.css.
In effect, this means that the only change between each blog is of the header image one sees and minor coloration for each blog. This is for a NPO organization website that wishes to maintain uniformity across all its regional websites.
Now, the simple but laborious way, which I am laboring through, is to make 100 copies of one theme and manually replace the head.gif, edit the style.css and screenshot.png.
Not my idea of a great day ...
In addition, if it ever comes to upgrading the template, it means that all 100+ templates have to be manually upgraded. Which seems crazy.
I have been through this template forum and cannot see ay solution. It appears to be an obvious option to have. Are there any plugins or work arounds to make it happen?
Appreciate it.
