I am not a Web genius.

In fact, I would never—ever—categorize myself as the type of person who knows much about HTML or other types of coding.

I have always, however, been a great student. And it has served me well with the development of AnnetteLawless.com.

When I first embarked on this Web journey, I actually created the concept in college. I ran for student government and was looking for all types of exposure. I created a campaign site for my run at student senator at Kansas State University, a Big 12 school that prides itself on campus leadership.

After a semi-controversial campaign, I was eventually elected into office—by a pretty good margin, mind you. Years after, the site stood at a standstill.

  2. hahah alright so this is how moronic I am, midway through looking through your post I dropped my sensitive mouse and shut the site by accident and I could not find your webpage once again right up until 3 days afterwards to finish reading through where I left off for the reason that I didn’t remember how I linked to your site to begin with lol anyhow it was worth the delay..cheers 🙂
