Welcome to the official site of me, Toran Shaw! I have been thinking of setting up an online home for myself for quite some time now, as a place to showcase my various projects… and to express my thoughts and feelings on a variety of issues, that are of interest to me!
Being, as I am, a rather eclectic individual, I have broken up my various areas of interest into their own dedicated site(s). For this end, I decided to use WordPress and create a multi-site network (using sub-domains) from it. I have written a brief blurb, about each of my main areas of interest, in the section below! As this site network is still under heavy construction, many of the niche sites won’t be ready yet. If you wish to know when they do become available, please feel free to subscribe to my newsletter… I will send out an email as soon as each site becomes available!
All that’s left for me to say is that I hope you find the information on this network useful and [or] informative. If you wish to contact me, for whatever reason, feel free to do so. I will answer all messages, as long as they’re polite and non-spamic! All that’s left for me to say is thank you for visiting my site and… I wish you well!

My Work
I’m a web designer by trade, specialising in sites built with WordPress and, in particular, the Divi Theme by Elegant Themes. I also offer site design critique and training in how to use WordPress… and the Divi Theme in particular! I also offer content creation and management services.
Along with working in the web design field, I am also a writer. I primarily write works of fiction in the fantasy, supernatural, science fiction and erotica genres. I don’t have anything published yet, though that’s mostly due to the fact that my main story ideas are still in the development process… watch this space!
Personal Interests
I love to travel and explore new places and cultures. I love learning about languages and how they evolve (I am currently learning Japanese).
I’m a member of the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches (Unitarians for short). I also love learning about all the various faiths and belief systems as possible, attending as many different services as I can.
I am a member of the Liberal Democrats. That said, I consider myself to be coming from the Left Libertarian side of things.
I am a Brentford FC season ticket holder (as of next season) and have been supporting them since my teens. I love watching Formula 1, Rugby League and Cricket (only the 1-day games or shorter).
I also consider myself something of an otaku, as I love to read manga and watch anime!
Powered by Open Source
I am a firm believer in the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) philosophy, though I don’t take the Richard Stallman approach to things! I also use Linux on all my computers, and have done so for over a year now!
