title: Sharepoint: How do I change the default page layout for newly created subsites?
body: <p>I'm working on a sharepoint 2010 publishing site that has many subsites. I've set up a custom master page, and several custom page layouts.</p>
  
  <p>I've discovered how to set the default page layout used for newly created pages in a subsite (found at /_Layouts/AreaTemplateSettings.aspx), but I can't seem to figure out how to specify the default page layout used to create ~/Pages/default.aspx when I create a new subsite.</p>
  
  <p>Right now it selects WelcomeLinks.aspx, and that's not what I want.</p>
  
  <p>Is this only available if I deploy custom master pages / layouts via code, and if so, does anyone have any good examples?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
