   I would like to create 3 lists of links right underneath my heading. I've been searching through the forums, but am not able to find any significant help.

   What I'm thinking of creating is somewhat like a horizontal sidebar, where I can place my Most Popular Posts Widget, Most Accessed Posts Widget and possibly feature an ad. Do you call this a horizontal sidebar, or a horizontal menu?

   I would appreciate any help / pointers with the coding for this. Thanks!

   Regards
   Samantha

   You'd need to do some theme coding and css styling for this. An easier option would be to use a theme that already has a horizontal sidebar.

   the solution may depend on your theme. for my theme, if all the info was on every page,

   1) i would build something to accommodate the info under my masthead in header.php. the structure would be div=class that is as wide as my masthead.

   2) in functions.php then register a new "Sidebar_horizontal" so you could utilize the widget feature for more recent/popular etc.

   3) in admin > appearance > widgets select your "new" sidebar-horizontal from the sidebar drop menu

   4) add otto's exec-php plugin = http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/ where you can put in html, php, images, etc.

   the above is the " concept " i'd try first to take advantage of the widgets.
