In answer to your questions, I think Michael Verdi has an excellent
site teaching beginners how to vlog

http://freevlog.org/

He really taught me how to get my video on to the web without using
companies like YouTube that own a piece of your copyright when you
upload them. I watched a panel at SXSW that talked about how to add
video to your weblog, but the panel didn't teach us much. The website
did, though.

It's a little Mac-centric, however. All the comments in this group
are. Since 80% of the market is PC (I'm guessing on percentages, but I
know it's a majority), you REALLY need to have someone who can teach
people how to do things with a PC.

I struggled for a long time and did some reviews of video-editing
software for PCs:

Maybe these resources can help you.

Good luck,
