I want to use an existing site that I built in WebMatrix as the starting point for another one. IOW, I want to use it as a template. Is there a "proper" way of doing this, or is it just a matter of "saving as" the existing site to a new folder, and then opening that folder and making the necessary changes?
I could "just try it" and see what happens, but I'd rather avoid that step if somebody knows of a better way to do it if doing so would end up mayhemifying my experience.
WebMatrix site templates are Web Deploy Packages. I've written about how to create one for WebMatrix here: Creating A Custom Template For WebMatrix. You can get some more detail on Web Deploy Packages for the IIS site here: http://www.iis.net/learn/develop/windows-web-application-gallery/package-an-application-for-the-windows-web-application-gallery
