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: http://warpspire.com/hemingway/ 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: http://tabo.aurealsys.com/templates/hemingway-template-for-blogger/ dave riley http://ratbaggy.blogspot.com/
