You want a horizontal menu? Throw this in:

#botbar a {
float: left;
}

This takes the link elements and floats them, in this case to the left. However you're using an inline element ( the anchor tag ) and floats it's independently, you'd be better to wrap those elements in DIVs. So the class '#botbar a' becomes '#botbar div' and the links are <div><a></a></div>.

You will need to clear this float after the list of menu elements by using a cleaner class as such:

.cleaner {
clear: both;
}

With that in your style sheet add <div class="cleaner"></div> after the menu elements, this will stop things going all squiffy.
