And in Blogger you have a couple of hacks you can use to the same effect:

(1) You can pre date the post to a future date so that it sits atop of
the rest chronologically.This is certainly cumbersome if you have 
prominant date headers.

(2)On most templates, you can post your featured video  into a
gadget/widget and drag and drop  it into the main column of you blog
so that it appears to be a post.

(3) I've searched for other hacks and while I prefer to feature  my
latest video post on my top page I deploy a few means to draw
attention to more wares in the same way that the Ryan is Hungry 
http://ryanishungry.com/
 does at the bottom of the page. You can use aggregators like Vodpod
to do this and showcase your own stuff or I use a scroll bar to
showcase thumbnails . EG: "overflow-x"  and "overflow-y"

<div align="center"><div style="overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: auto;
width: 75%; height: 100px;">    [PUT LINKED TO THUMBNAILS HERE] </div>

I'm very new to videoblogging but I have been hacking templates for
podcasting for about three years (not thats' I'm any good) and I think
there's a different requirement with video as many posters have
flagged in this thread.

And the Ryan is Hungry format solves a few problems as does the 
Hemingway designed by Warpspire I use:

which you can get both for Blogger and Wordpress. But it isn't very
hackable if you want to tweak it some more.(Although hacks do exist).

But here it is for Blogger:
