I create a list of "holidays" or events that I want to create special themes and designs at the Search Engine Roundtable.

I have had themes for Thanksgiving, New Years, Hot Dot Day and so on. I pull these holidays from sites on the web, that categorize them for me.

I honestly, don't think when I collect these dates and have my design mock things up.

So today is "Atomic Bomb Day." The day America bombed Hiroshima in 1945. More about the day at the BBC.

But when I had the theme designed, I didn't put the horrible event together with it being an "event" on the list of events from that list. When I added it to the list, I thought it was the day they invented the bomb, not the day they used it. But then I looked it up, after I put the theme up.

I put the theme up at SERoundtable.com for literally two minutes before I then realized what I have done. I quickly pulled the theme down thinking that it is really bad taste.

Lesson learned, think before acting.

If you want to see what that theme looked like see here:

Yea, when you think about it, I can't believe I went this far with it.
