   Hi !!
   In summer I was looking for a CMS for my website project (http://mpix.at) .. Because I'm a litte perfectionist I started learning TYPO3 and waited for the first real blog extension (T3Blog), which was released in october .. I think I was one of the first people who got it running in an acceptable way but it still doesn't make me happy ..

   TYPO3 is a very great system an after weeks of trying, failing and some successes I really liked it but it's simply too much for me .. Every board would have told me but I thought it would be nice to learn such a great system !! Fortunately I had enough time as well ;) !!
   I really will do a project in T3 again but now that I know this big thing I would like to find the best solution for my website !!

   My problems with T3 are its speed, error-rate in the backend, T3Blog is working but it's definitely not working fine or great ..
   I want a blog solution which does things liks blog lists, post preview, anti-spam, social bookmaring, seo with nice urls, latest posts overview, latest comments overview and so on perfectely and is quite fast !!

   Now I'm asking if it's possible to reallise my page with my template in WP or WPMU ??

   About a few things I'm not sure if they are possible:
   Is it possible to easily (means with an extension for example but not with hacking code) embedding my own PHP code (for the YoutTube and Flickr API) ??
   How is it done that on my blog-site I have two collums and on all other sites it's just one ??

   It woudl be nice if someone could help me by telling me if my project is possible or not !!

   Thanks a lot,
   brainzina

   PhPInclusion plugin allows you to embed (using include, require, ...) your own php code into your posts.

   Thanks !!

   I'm still not sure if I can do my site in WP .. Is it easily possible to have some static sites without this typical two-collums-blog-design ??

   WordPress can definitely handle all of above. If you were able to digest all the info in Typo3 to set up a testing site, then WordPress will be much easier because it is more intuitive IMHO. As to single WP version or Multi-User version, it all depends on what kind of site you need to set up.

   Yup, instead of Write > Posts you go to Write > Pages

   Also WordPress Codex is your friend,

   Thanks for the reply !!

   I've already read a little bit throw tutorials in theme-building and stuff and I think for my site it's perfect !!

   One more question: Is it possible not to gat a link in active menu items ?? Means, if I have a menu item "archive" and it is the current viewed page then I do not want it to be a link (because then it would be better XHTML) but just the list item ..
   Is this possible ?? I don't know for what to search on this ..

   Is it possible not to gat a link in active menu items?

   Sure, at least two ways to do that - in WP or WPMU

   1. Manual
   <?php wp_list_pages('exclude=21,561' ); ?>
   21 and 581 representing post ID's of the pages you want to exclude from navigation. you find the post ID numbers by going to Manage > Pages and select the link/name of the page in which you would like to exclude - in your browser's status bar you will find URL that looks like
   http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/page.php?action=edit&post=21

   2. Plugin
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/
   I can affirm that this plugin works in WP 2.7 and WPMU 2.6.5 especially when WP used as CMS with hundreds of Pages (not posts). There are other plugins which can do this as well with additional functions, but haven't used them. Other plugins in http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

   OK thanks for that but it is not what I menat to ask ..

   I try to explain it another way !!

   For example I have a menu with this code
   

   <li><a href="bla1.html">BLA1</a></li>
   <li><a href="bl42.html">BLA2</a></li>
   <li><a href="bla3.html">BLA3</a></li>

   Now, for example, I'm viewing the site "BLA2" then I don't want the menu-item to be printed as a link but just the list-item, like:
   

   <li><a href="bla1.html">BLA1</a></li>
   <li>BLA2</li>
   <li><a href="bla3.html">BLA3</a></li>

   Is that possible ?? On every WP-site I checked it wasn't like that ..
   I hope you'll understand it better now !! My English unfortunately is not that great ;) !!

   Thanks a lot for your help !!

   Well, you sure like to make it challenging :-) Still, it is possible/ Somebody could probably create a script to do it but since I haven't seen one yet, my recommendation would be a manual tweaking of template files and hardcoding links/list.
   e.g. Put your page navigation in navigation.php and call this file in index.php, single.php, archive.php, search.php, category.php etc. Then create custom Page Templates where for EACH page you want to add and hardcode the page navigation there.

   On another note, have you thought about "faking the non-link" through Dynamic Menu Highlighting or downlighting in this case? You can tweak the CSS of the menu so that the link won't appear like a link even if you hover over the link if in current page. This is way easier and faster :-)

   OK thanks !!

   I would like to have this for a better XHTML code not for the appearance ;) .. But this no big deal !!

   I did my first steps with WP already and I like it very much !!

   At this time I'm searching for a plugin that allows me to better design the links in the menu ..
   One of them is a link to an external URL, the Blog should be in that list as well and so on ;) ..

   But it seems to work out quickly and easily !! I like WP !!
