Well, I went to Lowes and picked up a blow gun (with a tiny, pinhole nozzle)
and a quick-disconnect coupler for the hose.  I didn't have the extra $5 to
pick up couplers for both ends of the hose, so I put the one I'd gotten on 
the tank/hose end, and just screwed the other end of the hose into the 
blow gun.  Later this week (after payday) I'll pick up another set of couplers.

Is it normal to put the male or female side of the coupler on the tank itself?
Is there a "recommended" way, or "as long as it connects and doesn't leak" ?

Yep, plenty. :)
