There have been people end up in hospital as a result of blinking text. If you must blink your text then do it using Javascript and set a blink rate of below once per second.
with the blinking thing is there a way to have a slow blink using HTML... and choosing the seconds between colours...(USING HTML!)?
sorta off topic:
I have been on many sites and I get those annoying popups regularly.
eg. you are the 10,000,000 visitor, click here to claim your prize.
you know those popups... lol, well they have tonnes of blinking...
sorry to post in your topic Xherziu but its better than posing the same thing in a new topic...

Reason: used HTML tags instead of the forum tags(<b> instead of [b] )
None of the options is going to work in web readers either.
But it would be annoying as hell if it did, continually reading the blinking text over and over while continuing to read the rest of the page.

<blink></blink> works in FF. And it's not all my text that blinks, it's just one word to emphasize it. So it's really not annoying at all on my website, kinda cool actually.
Blinking text is an etiquette thing... kinda like farting in public, or typing in all caps - it's generally frowned upon. I don't think I've seen the blink tag supported since Netscape 2x or so....
