title: How to add HTML elements to the SharePoint 2010 ribbon area
body: <p>I am trying to edit the SharePoint 2010 ribbon to add links along side the tabs. So I would want to just have  elements exactly to the right of the 'Browse' and 'Page' tabs. It should look like they are other tabs, but they will function like links.</p>
  
  <p>I have searched the web extensively to try and accommodate this, and I'm not sure if the answer is editing a custom master page or deploying something through Visual Studio. Either way, I am unable to get something to appear up in that area.</p>
  
  <p>Below is a screen shot of what this might look like.</p>
  
  <p>Also, any help with moving the user and their menu to the left would also be much appreciated. </p>
