The overall categorization is similar to how we've structured '''our [https://support.secondlife.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=4417 Knowledge Base], which contains many useful articles to check out, some of them with accompanying video tutorials'''. We're working on better integration to make it easier for you to find what you need.

Many video tutorials are categorized by one-word tags that tell you what they're about. Since a vidtut can belong to more than one category, multiple keywords are used as needed, with the first keyword being the main topic. You can see the tags in action @ http://secondlife.com/video

The version the vidtut was filmed in can also be a tag (e.g., "2.0.1").
