Who's that fat blogger?

I knew it wouldn't be a good idea to put my picture on this page. It looks like I'm inflating and about to explode. And as for those rosy cheeks, anyone would think I sit in my office all day guzzling port, which in fact I hardly ever do.
Anyway, welcome to my new blog. I am going to be writing regular updates about life at the Daily Post. Feel free to leave your comments about the blog, the Daily Post and our website. And if you have a story to tell me, you can leave a message about that too.
So what does an editor do? My pub quiz pal Gwynfor-of-the-garage reckons I read the paper all day long. Indeed, he has offered to do my job for me when I'm on holiday. Sorry, old son, but there's a bit more to it than that (although, yes, I do read a lot of papers).
The key moment of the day is our afternoon conference when various folks huddle round a desk in my office, fighting for the seat next to the fan (my kindly company is saving the planet by leaving me off the air conditioning system). We run through all the stories being worked on for tomorrow's paper - news, sport and features. And the picture editor Richard Williams chips in with the day's best photos. Actually, he describes them, as no one prints out pictures in this digital age. But he can certainly create a vivid image.
Tomorrow's splash (that's the name of the main story on the front page) details a brutal case of kidnapping in which a teenage girl was nearly throttled. Of major interest is that the defendant is a foreign national, raising the question, posed by the Home Secretary this week, of criminals from abroad eventually being deported. See the paper tomorrow (Friday) to find out more.
Right, that's all for now, better do some work.
