Issue with MediaWiki after CSS Change

So I made an accidental change to the modern skin's main.css (it was the
default for my wiki at http://benparr/com/wiki), where I added several lines
of adjusted logo code from the monobook theme. When I put it up, it
obviously broke the mediawiki code. I erased the bad code, but my mediawiki
is still horridly broken and nothing I've tried has fixed it.

Notes:

- I only have some PHP/CSS knowledge, I'm not a programmer
- I used a Dreamhost install to install the wiki onto my servers.

Please, I just want the wiki working again...any thoughts or anything I can
send to you or do to better find hte root of the problem?

If that's the only file you've touched, just go to the Mediawiki SVN
site and download a clean copy of it to replace the one you've
knackered. If you've touched several of the skin files, just download
the entire skin.
