It was to go up around the time <a href=\"http:\/\/www.groonk.net\/blog\/mt-archives\/005057.php\"><em>Six Feet Under <\/em>closed it&#8217;s curtains<\/a>.  I got distracted and abandoned the idea.<\/p>\n<p>Early this year, 2006, I began thinking of closing the doors to this site once and for all.  I ultimately <a href=\"http:\/\/www.groonk.net\/main\/mt-archives\/005065.php\">decided against that idea <\/a> as well. Instead I resigned to change my goals.  The <em>Six Feet Under<\/em> logo continued to hang around, begging to be used.<\/p>\n<p>So I used it.<\/p>\n<p>The Deathday became a Birthday instead.<\/p>\n<p>BTW the entry images(main, blog, music) came after talking to a friend of mine.  He said that all he saw was changing images when he visited the site.  For whatever reason he didn&#8217;t have the presence of mind to click the non-entry identified logos.  I figured others might have a similar mindset so I added the &#8216;enter&#8217; images ever since.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s groonk.net; Altering it&#8217;s design for the <a href=\"http:\/\/dictionary.reference.com\/search?q=ignorance\">unaware<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The idea behind the Branding category was to create new entry logos for the site on a fairly regular basis.
