Welcome to my new little corner of the cyber-sky!

For those of you who are wondering, “How did Annie get her own website?” I must be honest and say I HAVE NO IDEA. When it comes to technology, I operate on a need-to-know basis – I surround myself with people who are only going to tell me what I need to know, and not another word.

Bless you, you geniuses.

To get this site up and running, I am indebted to:

– Lauren at WebExHosting, who spent hours creating this site, hauling over all of my blog archives, and making my dreams come true. She is my Web Fairy Godmother. Bibbity-bobbity-boo.
– Seth, my graphic designer friend with the best head of hair of any guy I know. He helped me with the masthead in exchange for a double batch of Monster Cookies.
– Ashley, my ultra-talented sister-in-law, for capturing my fabulous chair (and me!) in that sunny Kansas field.
– Emily, the closest thing I have to a little sister besides my little sisters, who designed the sweet paisley logo.
– God, for creating the internet.

So look around, and let me know what you think. Things might get tweaked here and there early on, but overall, I think it’s quite “Annie Parsons,” don’t you? Look at the top of the page – TABS! And come back all the time. You can find me here Monday through Friday, steady as the sun.

Celebrate good times, come on.

    am i the first commenter on this lovely new site?? i don’t think i deserve the honor. but very cute site, annie, and i’m pumped for you that you’re breaking beyond the confines of basic blogger to rise above as a true blogprincess.

    i wonder how much indirect traffic i get on my site just from being your friend. i should probably get you a gift or something.

    I have a request! Since I work for “The Man” I can’t access Myspace to listen to your tunes. Any chance you might host some music on iMeem or another streaming station? Thanks – great new site!

    Awesome, awesome, awesome! I’m quite impressed that all the archives are here as well. So slick. Love the masthead. Though I do miss the comforting yellow background…

    Love the new site, AP. :) Very wonderful. By the way, we’ll probably be coming to Nashville April 30th, but the date’s not definite yet. Anyway, congrats!

    Great call! It’s always better to have your own domain :)

    Wow! This is so COOL!!

    Since you didn’t go with “hootenannieparsons” like your blog spot, you can get married and not need to change the website. Ha Ha :)

    I love the layout too. Totally great!

    Total sweetness indeed.

    Although now I feel self conscious about my blogspot blog.

    You’re so professional now.
