Here is the situation. I want to edit the HTML in my forum but there is no CSS support. I have included what I have, barring I didn't screw it up. What I want to do is put the three elements after the opening text side by side, in line. Next I want to do the same with the last to elements, the hit counters. My working knowledge is limited and I have tinkered to the last of my patience. I am a amateur, self taught, noob, whatever you want to call it so forgive my lack of knowledge.

You're using inline style ("style=...") already. Paragraph elements display "block" by default, which means they will each start a new line and span the the entire width available to them.
I'd suggest wrapping each set of tags you want vertically aligned together in a div and either change the display styling of your paragraphs or remove some of them.
