The Dojo will be using blip.tv for video storage (http://drupal.org/node/203810). We need a step-by-step HOWTO, including screeshots, that shows how to upload a Dojo video to blip. It should cover the steps to upload as well as making sure to mark it with the proper Dojo tags.

What are "the proper Dojo tags"?

Hm, well there are 2 blip tags, "drupal dojo" and "drupaldojo" which I guess maybe we should standardize. Folks are more likely to enter in "drupal dojo" when searching so I think we should recommend that one (and get the existing "drupaldojo" ones to switch - I'll work on that.) To catch a broader search field I'm thinking that other tags that make sense are "dojo", "drupal training" and "drupal". Thoughts?

It would also be good to encourage folks to use keywords depending on the content, like CCK or views or theming, etc.

I'll add that into the draft

Awesome stuff - thanks Daniel! I've got a few thoughts:

step 4 - linking "to wherever more detailed information can be found", maybe we can include an example or two, "e.g. a drupal.org handbook page or a drupal dojo lesson post" ?

step 5 - word it so it is clear that multiple terms can be added here so if the video covers several salient things they should all be included.

We should probably make up a last step which is to add the link to your newly uploaded blip video to g.d.o. This can either be added to a lesson post for a pre-announced lesson or just added as a new "discussion" post for videos unrelated to lessons per se. Then the admins can add the video link to dd.com site too.

Sweet, could you make this into a page on the Dojo group site? You can just make it a wiki page. Good stuff and thanks!

Two tiny typos I saw:
1) add commas to the tag lists
"a screencast on CCK would be tagged drupal dojo, CCK, or a screencast on CCK and Views integration would be tagged drupal dojo, CCK, views)"
2) accompinying should be accompanying
