Blix theme header question

Okay, third try. I have no idea why the topic keeps disappearing after I hit post. Anyway.

I’m using the Dark Blix theme on my site, and I was having a problem displaying links to page in the header, until I came across this post. When I replaced the following code I had in header.php:

<li<?php if (is_home()) echo " class=\"selected\""; ?>>">Home
<?php
$pages = BX_get_pages();
if ($pages) {
foreach ($pages as $page) {
$page_id = $page->ID;
$page_title = $page->post_title;
$page_name = $page->post_name;
if ($page_name == "archives") {
(is_page($page_id) || is_archive() || is_search() || is_single())?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
echo "<li".$selected.">Archives\n";
}
elseif($page_name == "about") {
(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
echo "<li".$selected.">About\n";
}
elseif ($page_name == "contact") {
(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
echo "<li".$selected.">Contact\n";
}
elseif ($page_name == "about_short") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "11") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "12") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "13") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "14") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "182") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "16") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "190") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "193") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "184") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "241") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "194") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "22") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "242") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "243") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "244") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "245") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "246") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "247") {/*ignore*/}
elseif ($page_id == "248") {/*ignore*/}
else {
(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="selected"':$selected='';
echo "<li".$selected.">$page_title\n";
}
}
}
?>

With this code from that post:

<li<?php if (is_home()) echo " class=\"current_page_item\""; ?>>"><?php _e('Home'); ?>
<?php wp_list_pages("title_li=&depth=-1&sort_column=menu_order")
?>

The navigation links worked fine, except ALL of them were displayed, instead of just a select few. As in, all the pages that I had on ignore before show up on the nagivation bar, which is something I don’t want. Is there a way to incorporate the elseif ($page_id == “#”) {/*ignore*/} part into the new code and keep those pages on ignore?
