Hi, I’m Amber Karnes. I’m 29 years old and I live in Norfolk, Virginia, with my husband Jimmy and our grumpy old rescue dog Kyla. I am self-employed as a web designer & developer. I also do all sorts of fun marketing and social media stuff for my clients, which are few and treasured. I also enjoy these things: backpacking, hiking, camping, knitting, sewing, photography, handmade things, yoga, WordPress, local food, baking and frosting cupcakes, and DIY projects around my house.
Check out my yoga & body image blog at Body Positive Yoga!
For pictures I use a Canon Digital Rebel XSi, usually with the lens that came with it (and also recently, my iPhone because it is convenient). If you’d like to see more of my photos, they’re all on Flickr.
This domain name has been mine, and used for my stream of internetty consciousness since I was 16 years old [that’d be around 1998]. The name of the site? From one of my favorite songs, Alison by Elvis Costello.
Like many other blogs, I track visits and clicks. This means I use a cookie to collect anonymous traffic data from you. The cookie won’t do anything bad to you, and I promise not to do anything bad with the cookie. You’ll also have to enter an email address to post a comment. Just so you know, I don’t share your information with anyone. Ever. That’s a promise.
Sometimes I use affiliate links when I link to a book or other product on Amazon or some other site. If you buy an item by clicking one of these links, they give me some money. Just so you know.

Perhaps you'd like to subscribe via RSS or receive posts by email. Want to be the first to know when I publish a book, design a sweet downloadable goodie or break a world record? Then the email newsletter is for you. Or, just follow me on Twitter.
