Scripting the Creation of Blogs & Apple Wikis

Question

I would like to write a script to programmatically generate blogs & Wikis for the classes & teachers at our school. However I don't see any documentation on the editing of blogs on an Apple Wiki server.
Has anyone done anything similar? I tried simply copying an existing Blog, renaming it and the .plist file and restarting the wiki & web services.

Yeah, you could do that, an easy way would be use a csv file that has a column for each server and it's password. So the code would look something like this:
Import-csv c:\servers.csv | foreach {
#Create the account
$username = "user1"
$comp = [adsi] "WinNT://$($_.server)"
$user = $comp.Create("User", $username)
$user.SetPassword($_.password)
$user.SetInfo()
#Set password to never expire
$ADS_UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD = 0x10000
$user.userflags = $ADS_UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD
$user.SetInfo()
#Add the account to the local admins group
$group = [ADSI]"WinNT://$($_.server)/Administrators,group"
$group.add("WinNT://$($_.server)/$username")
Here is a good explanation of using import-csv and how to setup your csv file:
