Hey everybody, I have a question about private network i'm currently working on.

What I did:
purchased 30 domains, put them on different c-class ip's and installed wordpress on each of them.

What I need to do now for each site (before the whole content managment thing..):

Basic changes such as:

1. Installing 3-4 plugins
2. Deleting the sample page/post/category
3. Installing a theme
4. Editing the permalinks to %postname%
5. Maybe some more minor changes that you do for each new wordpress site you get that I can't remember right now..

My question:
Is there a way of doing that fast or in bulk or should I do it site by site?

Thanks

you can setup one site, then upload ti to all your hosts already installed and make a small and simple script to update the database wp_options table to change the site url and other specific values for each site.

Use imacros for firefox.

Good stuff for automating boring task.

You can use imacros/ubot to automate it, but make sure there are differences for all of them.

For instance they shouldn't all have the same permalink structure, they shouldn't all have the same plugins, etc.

Also make sure some have custom "About" pages, some have the default one, and some have that page deleted.

Set them up as how 30 different people would. Different permalinks, different themes, Different plugins etc.

... different number of articles, different lengths of articles, different types of articles bunched together giving the sites a different flavour (review blog, personal blog, someone with verbal squits, some with short posts, etc.)

NATURAL is the key - keep Google algorithm AND competitors at bay.

I use ManageWP, you can do almost all of those things in bulk with it.
