I posted in the help section but someone suggested I come here instead. I've hunted all through the forums and many other sites looking for a way to accomplish what I want, but I've yet to find my answer. What I am attempting is I want to create a horizontal list of links that float between the time and the menu buttons at the top of the page. Can such a thing be done or have I just been chasing a dream?

I thought a bit about it and I guess that it can't be done. If I understood you right, you wanted to create a horizontal list of links in your costum css? so that you have those links on every site on subeta you visit? If so, I am afraid, that it will not work out, because on the costum css you can just edit the CSS itself, but you can't define a list of links, that only could be done outside of the stylesheet like:

<style> .linklist {definition here} </style> <div id="linlist"><a href.....></div>

the costum css will only edit everything that is between the style-tags. but have you thought about the notepad you can add to your dashboard sidebar? there you can add links as many as you want, they will just not be horizontal at the top of the page, but on the left hand of the site If I forgot something about CSS, correct me :D
