Wings

Information

Wings.NU was registered on the 27th of July, 2021 with the express purpose of becoming my umbrella network, replacing the former Enchant.Nu/315.network and their many, many predecessors. The name was snapped up thanks to the brilliant Hostinger, and the webspace likewise -- a really wonderful service, I can't say enough good things about them.

The Layout

This layout, featuring V (also known as Kim Taehyung, visual/vocal extraordinaire) of idol group BTS in his role of...well, that's debatable, really (is he Demian? Is he Icarus? Is he possibly an amazing combination of both created for the paracosm that is the whole Wings-verse?)...as seen in the beautiful, mysterious, timeless music video for '피 땀 눈물 (Blood Sweat & Tears)'.

I admit it: I'm ARMY. (Bias is RM, bias wrecker is...pretty much all the rest. I just. I love them all so much. SO much.) I have been since October 2016 -- BS&T was the track that managed to let the bulletproof boyos explode into my world (after a spirited resistance, I might add!), and my network is Wings, so...it seemed only natural that there had to be a Wings-era layout eventually! Even now, almost eight years since its release, I am still so incredibly fascinated with the layers upon layers of mystery and beauty and symbolism that is that music video...and I'm STILL annoyed it didn't get Best Music Video at the 2016 MAMAs! (...she says, even though she teared up when the boys took out the Artist of the Year daesang, and sobbed her eyes out when Yoongi broke down. My heart.)

...excuse that fangirling. I know it's not really the place. Ahem. ♥

Fonts used in the graphics are Gentium by SIL International, Generation Terrorists by Digital Typeface Corp/profonts, Ginga by Billy Argel Fonts, and Graced Script by Mans Greback; those on the layout itself are Cabin and Cabin Condensed by Impallari Type, Hepta Slab by Mike LaGattuta, Gentium Book Plus by SIL International, and La Belle Aurore by Kimberly Geswein Fonts. This layout was made using Photoshop CS6 for the graphics, Araneae for the stuff under the hood, Filezilla to let the world see it, and the Wings album on repeat. ♥

(Was this domain named after or inspired by the BTS album/era? Not intentionally, but I have no doubt it was one of the many subconscious influences floating in my mind when I was choosing the name.)

(Not So) FAQ

Can you design a site for me?
Maybe? If you're looking for a static personal site layout, hit me up! If you're looking for a business site with all the bells and whistles and WordPress and SEO and all that gunk, no, sadly -- I don't offer that. But I'd love to talk personal static sites any time!

Can't you make me a free layout?
...no. I have bills to pay, y'know? ^^;

Can I use a previous layout of yours?
Bloody no. Seriously, do not do this. It's vile.

Why do you have so many domains?!
Because I can, and when I buy them, I usually have plans for them. These plans do not always come to fruition, sadly :(

Can I buy [x] domain off you?
Put it this way: I won't necessarily say no, depending on the domain, but you will have to pay a fair bit for the name, due to...I mean, they're in use at the moment, and shifting files around etc is time-consuming. As is all the rigmarole of transfer and whatnot!

Can I link to you?
Absolutely, and thank you!

Can we affiliate/do a link exchange?
Yeah, why not! If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. I'm only an email away.

How did you do [x trick here]?
Oof, I know this is a cop-out of an answer, but the truth must be told: I am a wretchedly bad teacher. The few friends I've written tutorials for ANYTHING for are still attempting to halt the neurological damage. You would honestly probably find a much better tutorial than I could ever give by Googling whatever you've seen. I didn't invent any of it, after all; I'm just using it!
