When I create a new site on my Multisite enabled, BP activated network, how do I do the following:

1) Ensure that BP is activated on the newly created site.
Should I upload the BP plugins to the mu-plugin directory?

2) Make sure that the BP menus /blogs /forums etc are active on the newly created site

3) Use WPMU’s New Blog Template to make sure that the newly created site has the initial look and feel that I want (a variation on the main site). For a new site on the network, http://continuum.nsbp.org/wavetraintester/, there are http://continuum.nsbp.org/wavetraintester/members/ and http://continuum.nsbp.org/wavetraintester/activity/. But where are similar pages for /blogs /forums /groups & /friends that use the subsite’s theme? The /blog /forum and /groups menu options are missing, and I want them there. A /sample-page menu option is there, and I don’t want that there.

Using links to http://continuum.nsbp.org/blogs http://continuum.nsbp.org/forums http://continuum.nsbp.org/groups & http://continuum.nsbp.org/friends will not work for me because that will go use the main sites themes, I want links so that the content shows using the current site user’s theme. Is this possible?

Moreover is it possible to add a ‘Network Home’ menu item that goes to the main site in addition to a ‘My Home’ item (either as a separate button or a submenu) that takes you to /site?

I am using WP4.0 and BP2.1.1.
