What about editing the menu bar to add more links?

In your index.template.php file you will see this code:

Code: [Select]

// Show the start of the tab section.

echo '
<ul>';

// Show the [home] button.
echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '">' , $txt[103] , '</a></li>';

// Show the [forum] button.
      echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=forum">' , $txt['tp-forum'] , '</a></li>';

// Show the [help] button.
echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=help">' , $txt[119] , '</a></li>';

// How about the [search] button?
if ($context['allow_search'])
echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=search">' , $txt[182] , '</a></li>';

// Is the user allowed to administrate at all? ([admin])
if ($context['allow_admin'])
echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=admin">' , $txt[2] , '</a></li>';

// Edit Profile... [profile]
if ($context['allow_edit_profile'])
echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile">' , $txt[79] , '</a></li>';

// Go to PM center... [pm]
if ($context['user']['is_logged'] && $context['allow_pm'])
echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">' , $txt['pm_short'] , ' ', $context['user']['unread_messages'] > 0 ? '[<strong>'. $context['user']['unread_messages'] . '</strong>]' : '' , '</a></li>';

// The [calendar]!
if ($context['allow_calendar'])
echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=calendar">' , $txt['calendar24'] , '</a></li>';

// the [member] list button
if ($context['allow_memberlist'])
echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=mlist">' , $txt[331] , '</a></li>';


// If the user is a guest, show [login] button.
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=login">' , $txt[34] , '</a></li>';


// If the user is a guest, also show [register] button.
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register">' , $txt[97] , '</a></li>';


// Otherwise, they might want to [logout]...
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=logout;sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">' , $txt[108] , '</a></li>';

echo '</ul>'
Depending on where you want the menu button to show, add this code and change the url, title, ect. to your desired text. I usually add buttons between the calendar and admin buttons

Code: [Select]

<li><a href="http://syberwebzhosting.com" title="Affordable web hosting" target="_blank">Web Hosting</a></li>
