Hello,

I wrote some quick code that creates a new website using CreateNewSite in C#
that my be of interest. You can find it here:

http://www.ilopia.com/html/createsite-cs.txt

(wrapping prevents me from posting here, it is so difficult to read code if
it wraps wrong).

Hope this helps you in your coding! Good luck!
