OpenWYSIWYG Editor Tutorial
Here is an OpenWYSIWYG Editor Tutorial. It's the perfect little module for editing content.
OpenWYSIWYG
Free cross-browser WYSIWYG editor. The ultimate WYSIWYG editor for your web-based applications and forms.

outdated and just wrong
Everyone is really doing their best to move towards using the wysiwyg api on drupal. So i'm a bit surprised to find a tutorial for this outdated project in my feedreader. Also, the way in which openwysiwyg is configured in this video is a good example of how not to set up a wysiwyg editor. Also openwysiwyg simply sucks. It gives wysiwyg editors a bad name. It uses inline formatting and last I checked (in october 2009) it still lacked the one thing a wysiwyg editor should have, which is a styles chooser.
So I appreciate the effort of making this video but doing "wysiwyg" like this in Drupal will give Drupal a bad name. check out http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg instead.
even better
Thanks for your reply. Here's a link to the drupalconparis session of setting up tinymce with wysiwyg, you can plug-in another editor like ckeditor or wymeditor as well, even openwysiwyg if you really want to.
The difference in approach is that you combine your rich editor with an input format. Depending on the user role you can create seperate input formats with different editors or different editor configurations.

Note that this setup requires wysiwyg, imce_wysiwyg, imagecache, insert and filefield_sources. If you know how to theme Drupal (and even if you don't) this is definitely an approach to look into. You might also want to check out http://mustardseedmedia.com/podcast/episode29 for the image handling.
The caveat is that at this point insert and filefield_sources do not (yet) work with image_fupload or dragndrop_upload. So multiple uploads isn't a problem but mass uploads remain a seperate use case.
For a more tweakable approach this is certainly a way to go.
A related movement that has taken off involves http://drupal.org/project/media
Heavier lifting involves http://drupal.org/project/media_mover but this is a work in progress.
