One of the best ways to get engagement out of your community is to offer up some form of a contest.&#160; There are hundreds of different ways to do this, and there are obviously best practices at work by some of the best.&#160;&#160; [...]]]></description>

Unapproved tagged posts and photos will appear in a new section called “Pending posts.” This really should be the [...]]]></description>

I know some of you are waiting for me to continue with the “My Acclaim” stories, but I’m just not sure what I want to write about next, though it will most likely be Project Top Secret.

So, I just want to say thanks to everyone who has been there for me or tried to help in whatever way they could. I do appreciate it. I will get back to the “My Acclaim” Posts soon.

I liked where I worked and the people I worked with. And yes the ending of a nearly 2 year relationship in the middle of all that didn’t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first few weeks at Acclaim were mostly meetings around the launch of 2Moons. Daily conference calls with the CEO and the Marketing Manager. These meetings covered everything from the pricing of the cash shop items to finding voice talent to rework the in-game audio. The game had been rewritten specifically to bring in a [...]]]></description>

It was that year that a few things came together for me but most importantly it is the year that I started my second fan site. My first was for a game called Creatures; the [...]]]></description>

Specifically David Kolb&#8217;s learning styles model and experiential learning theory. My first contact with it was in the summer of 1989, a few years after the publication of his &#8216;Experiential Learning: Experience As The Source Of Learning And Development&#8217;.
