suggested resolutions for others' new year (see mine below, and besides, i'm freaking perfect already):

• stop complaining about blogger. expect that free things online (especially when they claim druglike properties) may not fulfill your wildest dreams of 24 hour support, lightning speed, and foolproof content management. learn how to write your own damn code, and if you do know html and still use blogger, resolve to end your slothful ways. use this as an opportunity to break out of the design mold (interminable narrow column of text, yes, i know that mine doesn't stray far, but it strays) that blogger imposes.
  
• stop stealing. that includes (subtext is "my," but why not go cold turkey all the way?) content, ideas, design, unattributed quotes, and images. chances are you'll do something cooler anyway.
  
• stop misspelling words and using bad grammar. especially "definitely," "weird," and "masturbate"; sort out it's vs. its, and while you're bookmarking your new confidantes, Grammar Lady Online and dictionary.com, do a find on all the "--" in your text, not your code, to replace them with "—" or "–." this will make you sexy in the mind of any English major, and there are lots of us out there.
  
• reduce by half the number of entries that include some form of "you know what i hate? <insert rant and rave here>." as a tribe called quest said in their first regrettably forgettable swan song album, the love movement:

  we do it all for the love, y'all
  we get the paper but it's still for the love, y'all
  from the heart, inside of the heart, y'all
