I'm having a few issues achieving my objectives with the Subsites module. Our goal is to create a subsite for a local branch of a company that shares most of its content and page structure with the main site but has a unique homepage and a few other custom pages.

Key question: Is there a way to define a range of pages in the Main site as being 'universal' so they appear on all subsites?

I've attempted to use the Subsites Virtual Page to achieve this on a page-by-page basis (a very laborious process) but I've also hit another roadblock: The main site has a News Page which only allows News Articles as sub pages. When I create a Subsites Virtual Page (SVP) of the News Page on my subsite, it then does not allow me to create additiontal SVPs of the News Articles because the SVP type is not an allowed child of the News Page type.
