Wordpress Video Portal

my challenge is to built a video portal, based on wordpress (blog already started). so in the backend there must be a option to add, tag, descripe videos and in frontend the videos must have a comment function, must be searchable and so on.

wordpress gives already a large amout of functionallity and i want开发者_Python百科 to use this, comments for example, but also categorisation and tagging.

what is the best practise to built such a "plugin" ? where to start? what to use?

custom tables and built everything by myself or can i use the blog functionallity to advantage?

hopefully everything is clear, comment if not ;)
