I SHALL BE VERY VERY THANKFUL IF ANYONE COULD TELL ME GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IN THIS POST.
"Finally I have started my blog. I could have started it earlier if i had some courage to show people how bad I am in English. I am not only bad in grammar but also my vocab is awesome.
But now when i have realized that the things would not work without good English I have started devoting some time to improve it. I think this has borne out of pure reflex. I cannot see myself learning English at this time when i would love to do things like Coding, OS, Networking, Linux..
I wish i would have done this in my school days ( atleast one good thing ..)
I spent this weekend learning English only. I am totally dazed...<img src="/emoticons/emotion-6.gif" alt="Sad [:(]" /> At this time i am overloaded with the rules when to use what??
Well as other things are important to do, this one is also necessary and how can i be efficient is by doing practice only..
I must stop now as this much is sufficient for me as well as for you people."
THANKS!

I would like to know whether it should be 'bad at' or 'bad in'.

Many thanks.

Correctly "bad at". But since this is a blog, a little freedom would be expected.

Here's a little more aggressive rewrite.

I may be bad at grammar, but my vocabulary is awesome. However, now that I have realized the importance of knowing proper English, I have started devoting some time to improving it. I think this was born out of pure necessity. I cannot see myself studying English at this time when I would rather be working on things like Coding, OS, Networking, and Linux.  I wish I would have done this in my school days (at least that would have been one good thing I did...).  I spent this weekend just learning English.
