Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

Show block on specific page:: Drupal path syntax?

I wanted to place a block in the right sidebar on the "compose tips" page - only. The URL:http://mysite.com/?q=filter/tips

The process I followed:

administer -> blocks -> configure -> Page specific visibility settings: Show on only the listed pages:

I tried:

Restricting access to certain pages

Is it possible to prevent access to certain pages for certain roles?

For example:

I have a page that should be available to users who have the role "author". No other users should have access to it. Is there a way I can stop anonymous users and users of other role types from viewing this page?

I just wnat users to be able to upload videos with a little blurb about the video (within a story maybe?) but I'd settle on some help with the problems I'm having..

Video does not show in Video Block unless logged in

I've installed the video module on my Drupal site and I'm trying to get a block in the right hand column for video files. I've added one file as a test and I can see it fine when logged in as admin or editor, but when not logged in I get the Empty page text.

The video section itself is created as a separate category.
I've created a view for it so that I can organize my videos into the same subsections as I have done with my articles.
And I've enabled the block on the block page.
