Well I made the big mistake of making 4 seperate content types for catagories for my blog.. and now I want to switch to catagories/taxomony. Is there anyways I can transfer all the data without any adverse effects?

if i understand you correctly, you've created 'blog1 blog2 blog3 as content types alongside blog (in default install) and so users click 'create content' and see all of these and pick one...

as i understand drupal, you *used* to have to go in and edit sql tables manually to do this - which is one option.

however, and this depends totally on your patience and the volume of entries - you can use the http://drupal.org/project/nodetype "node type" module - simply click on a blog2 or blog3 item, click to edit it and you will see an option to change content type - you can then change all to 'blog' and assign a vocabulary term appropriately..

if you decide to go that route, i STRONGLY suggest that you create the vocab terms first, assign them to content type blog and then edit each item accordingly as you go along, one by one...

if there are tons of them, then you'll have to do it in sql, but i'm not a sql dude so no idea what you have to do specifically (but you're basically just changing all blog2 or blog3 content types to blog content type in a table)
