Hi Milt -
One thing to remember is that Blip.tv (and other hosting services)
can cross post to all sorts of blogs. So, for example, even if there
isn't a built 'include blip video' feature at blogger or wordpress.com
... blip.tv can cross post to those systems for you when you upload a
video there. Other services like Flickr can cross-post for you as
well.
I think my advice would be to pick the blogging solution that works
best for the project/users, and use a separate service (such as blip)
to host video/audio/images etc - allowing these hosting services to
cross post to your blogging solution of choice. In this case your
bloggers would have a few accounts one for their blog site, and at
least one for their media hosting service(s).
As an example: I post to my wordpress blog most times. However I
can upload a video to blip and it will automatically create a post ob
my wordpress blog for me. If I post a picture to flickr, I can have
it post to my blog site too.
Hope that helps,
- Dave

Hi folks,
I'm working with some college students in Pine Ridge South Dakota on
the Oglala Lakota Reservation. These young people are really ready to
do a blog and want to post stuff from their little cameras, and whatever.
What would be a good place to post some video, and writings, and just
plain old pictures? I initially set up a wordpress.com blog, but it
has some pretty severe restrictions on where the video can come from.
I didn't see a way to post video directly, but I have been know not
to see everything that's happening at any particular site.
Then I thought of Blip.tv, which I love for the quality, but it
doesn't seem to have places to just post stories or writing.
Blogger might be good. I'm even looking at tumblr.com which is pretty
cool, but they only allow video uploads of 50 mb or less.
So if you all have suggestions, and even comments on my
misunderstandings of what is available at the various places that I
mentioned so far, I would really appreciate it. At various times, I
have mentioned what I thought was true about a certain site, only to
be told in no-uncertain-terms that I was an idiot, or a fool, or just
plain dumb. I'm sorry if that's true, but I would still appreciate
any information you all might pass along. (On the other hand - many
people have been amazingly helpful, so there you are!)
Thanks,
Milt Lee
