Issue with Magento Categories

I am having issues arranging the categories in magento. The system has more than 3000 categories. There are 4 level categories which means: Parent>Level1>Level2>Level3>Level4.
All the products are sitting in level4 categories and level1,2 and 3 are just empty.
What I am trying to do is under level2 display its sub categories using a static block and then under level 3 display the categories from level 4.
2nd issue is I dont want to show all the categories in the main menu bar as loading 3000 categories will kill the server.
I want to do something similar to this: http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_super.asp?catids=%2C&name=CA_SU_Office+Supplies
Here is the link for the site: bindersnink(dot)ca
From what I can see in the Staples link you added, they only show top level categories on their main menu nav bar. You can do this in your Magento store by simply changing a configuration value. Just login to your backend, go to System > Configuration and click on the Catalog > Catalog section in the left panel. On that page you will see a section called Category Top Navigation. Change the Maximal Depth to 1. This way only your top level categories will show up in the menu.
Just note that if you want all products in child categories to display on the top level category page, you will need to go to the edit category page, go to the Display Settings tab, and make sure that Is Anchor is set to yes.

Display Categories as top nav menu in magento

Hii i am a newbie in magento. I have created a root category called 'computer' and added two subcategories namely - mouse and HDD to it . I want to display the root category in the header section as - Computer and then on mouse over the sub categories Mouse,HDD will show and so on.
You need to place your top level categories directly below a root category for them to be shown.
The screenshot below shows a Root category (which is not visible on the frontend) with 4 top level categories listed directly below. It is these that will/can be visible in the main navigation.
Also, ensure that the category is active and that "Include in Navigation Menu" is set to "Yes". This can be found towards the bottom of the "General Information" tab in the category settings.
Finally, make sure that the root category you are using is assigned to the correct store: System > Manage Stores

Joomla: news in blog

This might be a really simple question and I apologise if it has been asked before but i haven't found an answer.
My Homepage list only news (blog)...(no menu left, no menu right in sidebar)
When an user clicks on article it show the article in the same homepage.
What i would like to have is
When an user click articles in the home page it will be redirecting to another menu (news) where it shows a menu with news list items on the left sidebar and the content of the article clicked in the content.
Is that Possible ?
You must create a custom module with left side bar and right content.In left sidebar put the query to populate news title from the selected category.On right display introtext or full text from #_content table based on article id.
You will have to create a hidden menu to show the news in inner page. Go to menu manager and create a new menu with title Hidden Menu and menu type hidden. Inside that menu add new menu item of type article category blog.select the category from where these front page articles come .Save it and check the front end of the site.

Magento Main menu custom links

In magento the main menu is working based on category list. Here I want the categories as well as I want to add two more links which are not category.
The links should leads to
1. CMS page link
2. Contact us link
If I add any category its become category page how can I insert my own links into category main navigation bar.
Although not free Advanced Menu can do this for you.
