I did some light styling on my forums of the counter for the watches and admin bar plugins. I'm wondering if these changes would've been better made outside of editing the CSS files of the plugins directly? I'm worried that my styling will be erased with plugin updates. I'm still fairly new to webdesign and CSS.. I know that CSS works by cascading but I couldn't imagine creating some type of child plugin style for one css line.. any ideas?

What you can do is copy the pm.css file over to your theme's /styles folder.
Once there the PM plugin will check for it first and use it instead of the one in the PM plugin folder.

...but - before you that you really ought to create your own theme for these changes otherwise the next theme update we send out will overwrite it. It's an easy thing to do...
