Conversion continues

Didn't get any work done yesterday because I was too miserable.  This is because I fell asleep on the beach (with no sunscreen on) and awoke with my entire back straight red.  Today I did yesterdays work and jotted down different dimensions and margins/padding.  I've also jotted down some css notes and planned out a couple other things as well.  I'm contemplating hardcoding the chatbox into the aside so it stays out of the tertiary, secondary and other sections of the sidebar.  This way I can easily align everything with the content-sidebar-sidebar css from here: http://themeshaper.com/2012/11/12/how-to-reset-rebuild-wordpress-theme-css-define-your-layouts/

As for chatbox plugins this appears to be what I need: http://wordpress.org/plugins/schreikasten/screenshots/

I'm not sure how I'll hardcode it but I don't think it will be too difficult.  I'll probably just need to put the plugin files in my theme directory instead and put the code that it would normally insert on its own into the sidebar.php.  This is all well documented here: http://themeshaper.com/2012/11/08/the-wordpress-theme-sidebar-and-footer-templates/

So today is day 3 and there's little to nothing done (mainly because I've been studying all day today for a calc quiz I need to pass the marking period tomorrow).  This means that tomorrow and the day after will be a couple power work days (no sleep).  Guess that's it.
