Steps to raising orchids from seed

[Stray59]

Hey everyone!
Hope you are having a great day - it's sunny in Indianapolis and at this time of the year that is a blessing!
I have recently (within the last 8 months) been deflasking some seedlings and planting in com-pots. I have read several posts here about the process of growing from seed and as I have several seed pods to send off to be flasked I have a few questions.
I know that the initial planting of the seeds in a sterile container is the first step, but I have read about the second flasking (?) that is referred to as "plating" or something like that.
Could someone explain the basic skeleton-steps of raising from seed or direct me to a post that outlines this? I would appreciate it very much as I will be sending off the pods in a month or two and I want to know what I have to do to get them to the final flasking stage, just prior to de-flasking them into the com-pots.
Thanks ahead of time!
Steve
P.S. I probably should have posted this in the "propagation" section - sorry, my bad!
