I have tried to customize the monobook skin on my wikia to look like MediaWiki's default Vector skin.

One of the new features in Vector is that the sidebar is slightly wider (around 300px, I think). I thought this could be done by adding .column-one {width:300px;} to the MediaWiki:Monobook.css on my wikia. It didn't work, so I followed the instructions on http://mediawiki.org which tells us to add this to the MediaWiki:Monobook.css:

/* increase sidebar width */ .portlet { width: 19em; } div#column-content { margin-left: -19em; } div#column-one {width:250px;} I tried that too, but this happened: http://psiepsilon.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.css?useskin=monobook. Clearly, there's something wrong. How can I fix this?
 * 1) column-content { margin-left: -20em; }
 * 2) column-content #content { margin-left: 20em; }
 * 3) p-logo a, #p-logo a:hover { width: 20em; }
 * 4) p-cactions { left: 19.5em; }

I've even tried adding both codes.
