New Photocrati wordpress site for our business. Should I migrate blogspot blog to WP (with orignal dates) and delete when finished or leave as is?

Do I migrate blogspot to wordpress?

Randy,

I'm a little confused on exactly what you are asking.  Are you asking if anyone has experienced the same situation? Are you asking what you'll gain by moving from blogspot to WP?  Are you already convinced to move and just want to know if you should make the dates match?

Kade,

Is it better to have one WP blog on my website and get rid of the blogspot?  If I don't, they'll have duplicate posts (I've already migrated all of the blogspot posts).

Thank you for the info!

If I understand what you are asking correctly, then it is best to have only one blog.  You want it in your website and drop the blogspot version.  You only want one copy of your posts on the internet and you want them on your site giving your site more authority.

If the existing blog is really powerful and has a lot of links pointing at it, you may want to look in to 301 redirects to point the old URL's to the new blog within your site.  I'm not sure if that's possible with blogspot, but something to consider.
