Word Count- how much is too much?

I have been working on my next post, and I am excited about it... I was re reading it, and I thought it seemed long. I checked the word count. 1500 words. I looked it over again, and couldn't decide on what to omit or shorten.

Since I am new at blogging, I am unsure; How much is too much? Do any of you, my amazing readers, want to read a post that long?

Any advice is welcomed- Time to go revise!!
