   Hey Guys, I wanted to know if this is possible. Or maybe if there are some plugins for it.

   I want to add a page to my website without letting it appear in my blog's homepage.

   for instance; I want to make a page with an admin subribe text. If they want to see that page, they have to ask for the link to me first.

   Or; An embed movie I want to add on a page that only my friends can see. But they don't need to enter a password or something.

   English is not my mother language so I hope you can understand what I'm saying.

   Thanks for the help :)

   It's definitely possible. You'd want to create the page and then modify your site's template to remove that page from the navigation (if it's automatically added).

   You can exclude the page from the listing using the technique seen here:

   Hope that helps. :)

   THanks, I understand what you are saying but how can I remove that page from my "Link bar" at the top of my page?

   No problem, stijnjasper.

   It depends a bit on your template, actually.

   I'd expect to find these links in your header.php file, if you have one.

   Usually, you'll see some code to create your menu that says something like:
   

   <ul>
   <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
   </ul>

   You'd want to change this to:

   <ul>
   <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&exclude=17'); ?>
   </ul>

   Where the 17 is actually the page ID number for the 'hidden' page you're creating.

   You can find that page's ID by viewing the pages using Manage/Pages in the Admin panel and then mousing over the pages and looking for the ID in the status bar of your browser.

   If you're way over your head, feel free to contact me through my site and I'm sure I can help you further.

   Thanks. I understand now. I'm glad you helped me.

   Now I just hav to fix one other problem, and then my website would be perfect :)

   You seem like a smart guy, can you help me?

   I can't use embed players from youtube. If I do, my website crashes. check it out: http://www.moviecrew.nl (without youtube) http://moviecrew.nl/wordpress/category/my-posts/page/2 (with youtube)

   Do you have any idea? (If you need, I can give you my login etc.) i guess ;)

   Thanks

   Yeah, not sure what's going on there. You might try to use a plugin for embedding your YouTube videos:

   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=youtube

   One other suggestion, if I may:

   At the top of your layout, you've got navigation that contains:

   Gamers Theme | Design: NET-TEC Artikel of Detektei Berlin. Coding: Lakeballs of Damenmode.
   XHTML Valid | CSS Valid | BACK TO TOP

   In Firefox 3, this is appearing as grey text on a black background and is near impossible to read. I'd consider changing text color for usability.

   Hope this helps.

   Hey Sewmyheadon, That line:

   Gamers Theme | Design: NET-TEC Artikel of Detektei Berlin. Coding: Lakeballs of Damenmode.
   XHTML Valid | CSS Valid | BACK TO TOP

   Has to be a bit dark, because it's not really important, and I don't want it to be shown really good.

   I will try that youtube plugin, do you really think that will fix it? And will it be as easy as before (posting a youtube movie)

   This is the problem:
   http://moviecrew.nl/wordpress/
   http://moviecrew.nl/wordpress/category/my-posts/page/2
   (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't)

   I get this error:
   Internet explorer could not open Internet site:
   (http://moviecrew.nl/wordpress/category/my-posts/page/2)
   operation aborted

   Do you have any idea on how to fix this? You would really help me out :D

   I'd start by cleaning up your validation errors.

   This can go a long way toward making your site work in different browsers and platforms.

    Well, I've heard that before. But I don't really know how all this works. I'm kinda new in all this. I installed wordpress just to keep the posting simple, without all those xhtml lines and such ;)

    I only know a few basic lines in html :S

    I hear you. Well, you've got some errors in your template, the biggest being a missing closing </div> tag. I'd recommend either putting up with it, or getting some help with your theme.

    You might try temporarily switching themes to see if some of the errors are sorted.
