Thank god the <blink> tag in HTML was removed.
Don't know how long you've been working on sites,
but I started at the same time the first NSCA Mosaic browser came out. About 10 years now.
They had <blink></blink> back then, and everyone starting using it just about
everywhere!
Imagine trying to read complete pages that were blinking.
The first HTML chats would allow tags inserted...
so someone would open a <blink> tag and not close it to make the whole page blink.
Anyways... the way I would do it today is to make an animated gif with the text blinking and just
load that.
