The Liebster Award and the 2012 Newbie Blogger Initiative

In honor of your survival, I have added most of you to my feed and blog roll.  

Also,Yanet and Neri were kind enough to nominate me for a Liebster Award.  I was unfamiliar with it until it started circling around my blogging community about a month ago.  There seems to be some variations, but generally how it works is that you answer the 11 questions that were asked of you, you nominate 11 blogs that you believe should have more visibility and you ask them 11 questions.  I'm going to answer my questions in a subsequent post.

In recognition of posting for almost 2 years, I nominate these 17 blogs for the Liebster award (yes, I'm bending the rules).  Below are your 11 questions:

1.  What blog made you want to start blogging?

2.  How did the Newbie Blogger Initiative help?

3.  Did you find times where you stopped posting and what encouraged you to continue?

4.  Do you use other tools like Twitter or Facebook or Google+ to encourage the feeling that you are in a community?  If so, what is most effective for you?

5.  What blogger encourages you to post the most?

6.  What kind of game would you like to see made?

7.  What, if anything, do you do to help balance the time you spend online and/or playing games with outside demands?

8.  Why do you play computer games?

9.  Did you ever consider working in the computer game industry?  If so, it what role do you think you would enjoy the most?

10.  What is your Bartle Gamer Type?

11.  If you could take a trip anywhere, real or fantasy, where would you like to go?

I'll be interested see if my nominees see my post.  Please leave a comment or let me know some other way if you do.
