how to clone a Word-Press site
Trying to determine the effort to clone a WordPress blog, so it would be a new URL but the look and feel of the blog would be the same. The point is to quickly get up another site that's similar to the first with minimal effort.
Say this site for example: http://smallfoodbiz.com/2012/01/02/3-key-steps-to-setting-successful-business-goals/
what would it take to clone it to another URL ? big effort or minimal effort (assuming one knew how to build this site and had access to the code) ?

>>It's a little trickier with any database-driven site since you also need to copy the database stuff
- ok, makes sense
I'd like to come away from this question with a rough estimate, so using a real website as an example (michellemalkin.com), say you were the tech guy managing this site and wanted to create a new site, "michellemalkin.com/presid

assume we have full access, i.e., we built the original site and have complete access to all components, e.g., we have "Political Happenings in Pennsylvania", and now want to create "Political Happenings in Philadelphia".
and a rough estimate to clone it and bring up the site "as is" (I realize there would be some set up). Having built a few basic straight HTML websites, I know that I can clone that simply by copying the files.
And suppose it wasn't actually a new URL, but simply add an extension, e.g. www.wordpress.com/political_in_pa/phila
