Would this work if you’ve already bought a domain name through blogger?

Should you do this when you very first set up the site (meaning, will these posts override your existing WordPress posts) or can you consolidate a couple of blogs into an existing one at any time without screwing up your existing WordPress site?

Ooohhh….I’m not sure. I would lean towards at the beginning when the site is new. Personally, I’ve never tried to consolidate multiple blogs into one WP site.
