Jesus the Christ, I got started on my post and now it's just getting longer. Waaaay too long. Any idea on how I can make it shorter???

First posts are always the longest. I suggest streamlining it if you can, but don't worry about the length. Just include a summary. Your further posts will probably be shorter since all the context is out of the way! Can't wait to read it!
