 * Using WordPress as a “true” CMS (not a blog engine), I am trying to set up a 
   web site for an institution. My plan is to have each different department appearing
   on one post, with a short intro and “excerpts” to sub-departments.
 * Going one step further, I could even have an “About Us” page that shows a short
   intro and excerpts to all departments.
 * I have the feeling this can be done without external plugins, only using WordPress
   loops and templates. Would anybody have pointers on how to do this?
 * Many thanks in advances and my apologies in advance if this is the wrong section.
