Hey there!

Videos are great for being able to visualize things, but they always seem to leave important stuff out and get outdated very quickly.

I would suggest following our rooting guides that are constantly updated with th newest information:

Can the same be said of the procedure for partitioning an sd card or does that stay pretty consistent?

Partitioning is a fairly straightforward process but different phones are going to need different settings.
Theres a section for just about anything you ever need to do in the after root section here:

Partitioning the card:

it is recommended that you do this before trying to flash a rom.
so here are the directions on how to do it:
1.copy your content of the card to a computer because partitioning will wipe the card's content.
2.go into recovery and select partition your sd card
3.enter 32 for swap, and 1024 or 2048 for ext2, and do the rest for FAT
4.select upgrade ext2 to ext3
6.select usb-ms toggle and transfer your contents of your card on your computer back to the card.
5.go to the main menu and do a full wipe (min data, dalvik cache and cache)
6.flash the superwipe
7.flash the rom of your choice.
8.reboot

from now on it is recommended you wipe dalvik cache, cache, data and sd ext.before flashing roms. MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT SELECT WIPE SD CARD as it will do just that. your card will be erased. also make sure that when making a nandroid backup to select sd ext to be backed up as well.

Can I send my phone to someone to do. I had a 2.15 that was very easy to do
this 2.18 seems way harder.
