".COM --> .ORG" …then what? (1 post)

    Hopefully a simple question(s):

    I've had a personal blog for years on .COM, with domain forwarding, and it's been great.

    But I've recently completed a couple of successful self-hosted installations, and now I want to self-host that personal .COM site too.

    I know how to export, import, MySQL, API, etc, etc. But what I don't know is this:

    After I get my content up and running on my local installation 100%, what do I do w/ my existing .com site? Do I erase it?

    I know it's only "pointing" to (www.mysite.com), but if I install on that root, what should I do w/ the (www.mysite.wordpress.com) site? Data?

    And since I've already got that re-direct going on (www.mysite.wordpress.com --> http://www.mysite.com). How will that pan out? Do I just cancel it? Will all my SEO survive?

    BONUS QUESTION!

    That personal .COM blog is under another username. But I'd like to "bring it in the family" of the 2 other (already) self-hosted sites I have (which share the same username).

    Would that make the universe implode?

    tia,
