I'd say first of all "practise all the time", as often as you can, in the bus, etc. For the rest I let more experimented people help you xD
Also I'm pretty sure you can find topics for beginners on the forum^^

3x3: 18.97, (17.69), 18.98, (21.90), 17.92 = 18.63
2x2-4x4 relay: 2:36.06

I started to learn cubing on christmas :D wanted to give this a try. Any tips?

Welcome!
There's a Wiki in this Forum with algorithms.
There's also lots of methods on the net with algs or videos on YouTube if you prefer that.
I think your biggest problem will be to choose :)

Will there be one of those yearly roundups for the Weekly Comps of 2016?

(Also, I think this is my first time at #1 and I know Jacob or Ray are gonna swoop in for the win. :p)

Also, is there a way to specify my gender on the site? (So that it doesn't say "His best time results"). Not a big deal to me, but am just curious. :)

Yes, in a day or two (after this is final).
I don't know. Where does it say "His best time results?". If I have written it I'll change it.
("neutralize" it).

Not a very important detail I guess, but would it be possible to remove all the "fake" results (e.g. 0 move FMC) from the results page? In the past it wasn't that bothersome, but this year almost all the records are "fake" timings.

I totally agree with you.
We're working on it now (those and other changes will come soon if not from this week)
