# MT Import Causes Formatting Errors

 * When I import my Movable Type posts into a fresh installation of WordPress, the
   formatting of elements on the single entry pages changed. Text in the sidebars
   becomes centered, and a green bar that normally rests behind the sidebars floats
   to the top. This happens to all imported pages, as well as any posts created 
   _after_ the MT import. Any posts that were created _before_ the import, however,
   maintain their proper formatting. The main page also remains unchanged.
 * Any ideas on why this would happen and how to fix it?
