Alt. way to see archive & login menus?

If you’ll look at my site (www.idowens.com) you’ll notice that I’ve edited the .css a bit and integrated WP into my site’s main column using an inline frame (iFrame) rather than converting my entirely table-based site into a .css site–not that I don’t see the advantages, I just don’t currently have the free time.
After glancing at the site, you may see why I had to eliminate the entire menu bar to the right of the main WP content. My center cell (iFrame, now) is only wide enough to support the body content of my WP. I need to know how I can edit the index.php to recall the LOGIN and ARCHIVE links in an area that user’s could easily identify and navigate to. Maybe I could call for these in the header so that it would show on each page?
Also, after clicking on a Topic Heading Link, it goes from BOLD to non-bold….how do I prevent this from happening? I’m assuming it is in the .css somewhere having to do w/ followed links?
Thanks in advance for your help & suggestions to this somewhat newbie.
