Resolution #1: Publish 100 posts in 2009.
Past Due. I posted 75 times in 2009, three quarters toward the goal.

Resolution #2: Introduce six new gadgets, design revisions or other blog improvements.
On Time. I started using Twitter on March 22, adding a follow link and the latest tweet to the right column. I embedded a ShareThis link on each post. Two new hub pages, Guy Gift Ideas and Gifts by Occasion, made their debut. And I included two new Blogger gadgets: recent comments and a poll.

Resolutions #3 and #4: Create an online quiz. Offer a guide on gift giving by personality traits.
Within Grace. I’m counting my post, “Selecting Gifts by Personality Quiz,” toward both of these resolutions.

Resolution #5: Blog about gift giving and e-commerce insights discovered in my MBA classes.
On Time. I matched my graduate school experience with gift giving six times in 2009:

• A Gift Deferred: The Wii for Christmas
• Brand-name Gifts
• A Perfect Gift from Buckle
• Irreverent References: Gifts for MBA, Law and Medical Students
• When Gift Retailers Fail
• Keeping Workplace Gifts Respectful
