only speaking on my own experience, but I just imported mine and it didn't overwrite anything. Just put them into chrono sequence with what was there.
I'm a new guy though, so don't take my word on it until confirmed!

Does importing an old blogger account overwrite existing posts on the WordPress blog?

i have successfully imported one blog a few days before.

The following is the code of that page after i click the hyperlink of the selected blog to import

==============

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<html>

<head>
<style>
a:link {font:8pt/11pt verdana; color:red}
a:visited {font:8pt/11pt verdana; color:#4e4e4e}
</style>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" Content="text-html; charset=Windows-1252">
<title>HTTP 404 Not Found</title>
</head>
<script>

function Homepage(){
// in real bits, urls get returned to our script like this:
// res://shdocvw.dll/http_404.htm#http://www.DocURL.com/bar.htm

//For testing use DocURL = "res://shdocvw.dll/http_404.htm#https://www.microsoft.com/bar.htm"
DocURL = document.location.href;

//this is where the http or https will be, as found by searching for :// but skipping the res://
protocolIndex=DocURL.indexOf("://",4);

//this finds the ending slash for the domain server
serverIndex=DocURL.indexOf("/",protocolIndex + 3);

//for the href, we need a valid URL to the domain. We search for the # symbol to find the begining
//of the true URL, and add 1 to skip it - this is the BeginURL value. We use serverIndex as the end marker.
//urlresult=DocURL.substring(protocolIndex - 4,serverIndex);
BeginURL=DocURL.indexOf("#",1) + 1;
if (protocolIndex - BeginURL > 7)
urlresult=""

urlresult=DocURL.substring(BeginURL,serverIndex);

//for display, we need to skip after http://, and go to the next slash
displayresult=DocURL.substring(protocolIndex + 3 ,serverIndex);

// Security precaution: must filter out "urlResult" and "displayresult"
forbiddenChars = new RegExp("[<>\'\"]", "g"); // Global search/replace
urlresult = urlresult.replace(forbiddenChars, "");
displayresult = displayresult.replace(forbiddenChars, "");

document.write('<A target=_top HREF="' + urlresult + '">' + displayresult + "");

}
function doSearch()
{
saOC.NavigateToDefaultSearch();
}

function initPage()
{
document.body.insertAdjacentHTML("afterBegin","<object id=saOC CLASSID='clsid:B45FF030-4447-11D2-85DE-00C04FA35C89' HEIGHT=0 width=0></object>");

Please check your page source for your blank page to see if it's truely blank. There may be an actual error there that for some reason isn't showing up. Also remember to change your blogger theme to one of the basic ones so not to throw off the importer.
