User blog comment:BertH/Layout and navigation updates coming October 3/@comment-1878897-20120927160821/@comment-1878897-20120927191801

Oh, never mind. I browsed around Help and looked at the source of some other wiki main pages and came across main page column tags, which fixed the issue. I just used the mainpage-leftcolumn tags for the intro part of the main page and then used br clear to have the rest of the page not affected by the main page column tags. Wikia auto-inserts the ad to the right of the leftcolumn tag.

For an example of what I did:  Insert intro message for wiki here  

Making sure to use the clear is to prevent the remainder of the page automatically assuming they belong to the left column.

If you want to see how I applied it to my wiki, go here. Thanks!!
