Josh,
Unfortunately this is just one of those things that no amount of information digging will help you until you get some hands on experience. Don't blow too many brain cells conceptualizing until you actually physically build your body up a bit
Some people have noted the decrease in the amount of posting of "how-to's" etc by myself and others.
It's not that it's stopped but that they've moved on to other areas/boards where the signal to noise ratio isn't so damn high.
