Randy McGregor

Thanks, but that's a little out of my league. I was thinking more along the lines of, "Create new site with template." or, "File->Save as."

Great! Here's a screenshot of the option that will be in 10.8 - similar to your idea above:

@Anonymous User is there any way to do this in 10.7.1? Ie copying a folder on the Portal machine, or something like that?
