I have 3 blogs that display pretty much the same content. They are mainly there to enhance the visibility of my website by linking back the photos, and showing up in search. I am right that I shot myself in the foot by duplicating the content and should sort that out?

We have
1) bristolphotos.wordpress.com (will be migrating it to proper domain at some point... or that was the plan. This domain is no use of for me)
2) blogspot (google which I only did recently)
3) Zenfolio (http://www.longlensphotography.co.uk/blog)

Which one should become the main one? Should I kill the other 2 or rotate posting to each one?

P.S. The plan was to setup my main site front page as something like drphotoart.com (most likely on WP and merging in the blog) but keep image galleries at longlensphotography.co.uk Does that sound feasible at all?
 
Blogger is very well covered by google, with good tags might be useful.
Checking the stats the bot is often looking at anything new within minutes of uploading.
 
If you have your own domain it is best to use that for actually adding content to, and then use other "social media" type blogs like wordpress.COM, facebook, twitter, youtube etc etc to link to content on your domain. That way you are promoting your site rather than promoting a site owned by a third party.
 
What is the best way to "kill" wordpress.com blog, ie. get as much benefit transferred and married to my own blog or blogspot? Do I just leave it to rot untouched, or start directing things somehow elsewhere? Even delete it? In this case I can't use any plugins or webmaster tools. So what is left to me?

Why do I specifically want to kill it? 1. WP adds. On blogspot I can at least place my own... 2. 3rd level domain name. On blogspot I can just use anything I want should I choose to do so. 3. No I am not going to pay WP.com $99 per year. 4. The following is not amazing by any means... maybe a few people It is all about some backlinks
 
Might be wise to read current google guides as they are beginning to crack down on "farms" that create content for seo as you are, albeit on a larger scale...
