Introducing...The Samson Tribune!

Hello!

Welcome to The Samson Tribune. I am so glad you have found your way here. I’m so excited!

So where do I start?

Okay. So, The Samson Tribune? What’s it all about? Well, my name is David Samson.

Tribune means “champion of the rights and liberties of the people“, and as a publication The Samson Tribune has, at it’s core, the goal of giving a voice to the people. I want to inform and entertain, while maintaining journalistic integrity and a sense of what really matters.

If you have managed to find my new site, well done. Thank you for visiting!

You are most welcome.

After keeping a blog on the blogger platform for 2 years, I have finally decided to take the next step, self-host and power my writing with wordpress. You could say that I am “growing up”, ready to be independent in the big world of blogging and writing.

You will no doubt be aware, if you are at all familiar with blogging, that wordpress is a unique and powerful platform on which to write. I have a steep learning curve ahead of me, but I am looking forward to it. Blogger is a good platform, but I am now ready for so much more.

So, if you don’t know who I am, have a quick look here and start reading my posts that will follow shortly.

This is a personal blog. If you don’t know me personally I understand if you have no real interest in what I think or what I get up to. Indeed, even if you know me, this may well still be the case. However, I am a writer. And writers write. There isn’t a great deal of choice in it.

I will write about my life. I will write about the lives of people around me, abstractly and while observing great confidentiality and respect. I will share and express opinion. I am an interesting person!

My vision for this site and this blog is minimalist. No fancy functionality. No super duper widgets. Just me, my writing, and hopefully your comments. Conversation adds a whole dimension to blogging. In fact, I’m sure it contributes to defining what blogging is.

If you followed me here from my old blog, you might find my style and content has changed. But then, nothing really stays the same forever.

Only time will tell.

And I want you to join in. Comment. Email. Make flags and banners. What is happening in your life? What are your aims, your dreams?
