Those are very general questions so rather difficult to answer. My advice would be just start – install WordPress and start building and experimenting. If you have any specific questions as your building your site you can always ask in these forums.
Good luck.
Haha i suppose i did ask a very vague question. Ok my first question is what type of advertising should i do for a video blog?
I was going to the usual: advertise on advertisement/webmaster forums, advertise in my signature, affiliate trading.
Does anyone know any sites or ways i can advertise?
I was thinking of posting a specific video from my blog onto another site or forum. For example if i had a blog about gadgets i’d post one of my articles on a gadget forum saying something like ‘Anyone seen this…. blah blah blah….’. Does anyone know any sites or forums which are relevant enough for me to do this?
Thanks a lot

If you’re looking to advertise on like-niche forums, I recommend you to simply do a search on your own. It would be a good opportunity for you to acclimate yourself with your niche. Not sure if ‘gadget video’ is your niche but IMO, that’s not precise enough for you to gain any traction anyway.
If your concern is whether or not a site is worthy of your advertising dollars, one metric people use is PageRank (PR). Obviously the higher the PR, the more you’re going to have to pay as well.
You can use browser plugins to see the PR of each page.
