Hi!
I'd like to include a top-menu in several WP-Blogs and therefore it is necessary to include a single php-file just after the <body>-tag and a css-file in the header.
I think this is easy for someone familiar with the hooks, but I'm not...
So thanks for your help!

Why do you want to use hooks? Can't you change your templates and put the needed include statements where you want them?

I could - but I want to use it in 13 blogs with different themes and it should be possible to change the themes or even use a new one and still have the menu on the very top.

Creating the plugin is not that difficult and by using the hook wp_head the CSS can be added to the <head>.
The problem is that there is no default hook defined for the beginning of the <body>. And because it is not defined, themes don't include a call to execute plugins at that point.
That means that for a plugin to add HTML right after <body> you must also change the templates of each theme to include a call to something like:
do_action('body_start');
Here body_start is the name of a new hook you define.
So it can be done with a plugin, but not without changing template files. And that's just what you didn't want.
Perhaps someone else with a solution?
