I didn't ask for aesthetic advice. I asked a technical question.
I realize it's hard for some to be silent when they just don't know.

You got much more than you paid for. But thank you for your clear expression
of unwillingness to discuss constructive; upside-down fullquoting seldom
fails to convey the idea of cluelessness.

Welcome to Usenet.

Those who responded to your query know full well how to achieve what you
seek. They also know that it is a bad thing to want in the first place
(blinking text is annoying in the extreme).

Around here we tend to not provide instructions when someone asks how to
shoot themselves in the foot. ;)

yep. still clueless but confident a technical solution does in fact
exist.

Please don't top post, it makes it so hard for many to follow.
You guessed wrong about a reply to you by Korpela and I pointed
it out. Perhaps you misunderstood it? It was not the point that
just he did not like it. Almost no one likes it.

And your assumption that people give aesthetic advice because of
a lack of technical knowledge is unfair. Even web pages devoted
to technical advice about html blinking say not to do it:

<http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/_BLINK.html>

I am not suggesting this page will help your particular desire.
