Crap you guys are making this sound complicated. Just downshift one gear at a time, letting the clutch out slowly each time.
There's really no need to blip the throttle, (although you do need to shift quickly so that the rpms don't drop). When I'm just cruising and start downshift towards a light I gradually let off on the throttle while I'm downshifting, I usually don't even let off on it while pulling in the clutch as that would cause my bike to slow down rather quickly.
The only time I can think of a use for blabbing the throttle while downshift is if your riding aggressively and need to make sure the back wheel doesn't start to lock up.
