Hi Jay!
don't you get that relations already with the tag system built-in (wordpress)? maybe what is needed is a tag cloud but with thumbnails or something like that... we should try to solve the related videos/posts with tags and the how it appears with tricks on the theme... like when a vlog only has one post/video on the first page, you can do lots of decisions like that. In a theme you could always have a way of viewing connected to a category or something on wordpress and themes. i will read the rest of the messages on the list. these are my 2 cts.
