Admin Forum:Help with main page column tag??

I'm pretty new to anything besides basic user editing, but I'm slowy learning templates and admin stuff for my wiki. I can't figure out how to make the main page column tag work. When I try applying it, it simply ends up like the example page here, one long unapealing column instead of the two that most pretty wikis have. I've tried Googling and Youtube-ing my way to two-column happiness, to no avail! What do I do? KyuKyu (talk) 02:49, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
