I am using Magento 1.4.1.1 to build an online shop for my client, where he wants to have a left-side menu for some cms pages. The menu has the following characteristics:
The links in the menu are themselves cms pages.
The menu itself shall be a cms page.
The links in menu will be based on what cms page has been requested.
Create a static CMS block. Use as many blocks as you like, a block can include other blocks with the code shown at the bottom of that link.
Include them in each CMS page's XML layout.

I'm using Magento WordPress Integration I'm wondering how to add fishpig "blog" link to main navigation in magento ? Currently it's only adding a link to my top header navigation.
Thanks
The above answer correctly shows how to add a link to your toplinks, however this is included in the extension by default. If you want to do this, you can enable/disable this from the extension's configuration area.
If you are referring to the Topmenu (the Category menu), it is now possible to create a custom Menu in the WordPress Admin and have this automatically added to your Magento Topmenu.
To do this, create a menu in WordPress. If you only want a single link to your blog, create a menu with this just this link in. Next, login to the Magento Admin and go to the configuration area for WordPress Integration. Under the fieldset labelled 'Menu', you can enable menu integration and select your newly created menu.
This will only work if your theme uses the Magento Topmenu block, which is the default menu block for Magento 1.7. Some custom themes use a custom menu extension for this menu and it is highly unlikely that this custom extension will call the necessary event.
As always, ensure you are using the latest version of WordPress Integration as this feature is quite new and has only recently been added.
Is it possible to use a different navigation menu on some cms pages in magento?
And how to do this?
If you are a developer you can create (duplicating the which one is in use) one theme that does not show top menu but show your custom menu.
Then when you create a new CMS page in the tab design you can choose your new theme for that specific CMS page.
I just installed the Bootstrap template into my Magento install. I uploaded the files, went to System > Design and added the design change. The frontend of my site now displays the theme, but when I go to CMS > Pages and select a page, the Layout dropdown still shows the default/default layouts, not the ones as defined in app/design/frontend/bootstrap/default/layout/page.xml
Any ideas why they are not appearing? Thanks!
It's because Page.xml doesn't define the CMS page layouts for that drop down menu. You can find more information on it here;

Tree/silo structure is made in Joomla by use of sections and categories.
Your article should be placed in categroy, which should be part of section.
Then you make your menu out of sections and categories like this
home
-section=extra
--category=articles
---article=82-article
