Oh, Joy--Head Gasket Time!

I'm psyching myself up to attend to this task, as it appears it is definitely needed. I'm been having to dump in coolant approx. every 3 days, and had thought my newly replaced heater core or one of the many hoses attached may have been leaking. Turns out it's not the heater core, and can now see a lot of white smoke out the tailpipe (much more than normal, even though it's winter). I'm sure the cause of the failure was an overheating situation about 2 years ago due to a stuck t-stat, as I have dealt with a few issues that seemed to be failed-hg-related over the years, but attacked them all with band-aids. I've basically been putting off the inevitable...
So.....
I just read through 1000's of past posts to the point that my eyes are blurry and watery. I am trying to gather as much info as possible, as well as to get over the fear of such a daunting task.
From those of you that have been down this path before, please throw me a bone! Just quick little tips, tidbits, advice, do's, don't do's, etc. that I may have missed and will make this job that much easier. I'm already going to use the write up on the Townsend site as I do not have a Hayne's available.
Thanks in advance for all the help!!!!
Joe
