Blinking is generally a bad idea. You'll drive people away very rapidly.

Plus it isnt supported by most new browsers. Older versions of netscape supported it (not too sure now though).

Any way, just for interest sake. The tag is,
[blink][/blink]

It is not a good idea to make text blink. It can cause epileptic seizures. I have seen this happen.

It is not a good idea to use nonstandard tags or features.

If you must make blinking text make a gif and display the image. use the FIR method to hide the text.
asm
{ "\x04f\x06d\x06f\x06c" }

hi
first write this code between head tag and try it
<script type="text/javascript">
var i
function glow()
{
i=0
interval=setInterval("makeglow()",10)
}

function back()	
{
clearInterval(interval)
document.getElementById('myHeader').style.filter=false
}

function makeglow()
{
i++
if (i<5)
{
document.getElementById('myHeader').style.filter="glow(strength=" + i + ")"
}
else if (window.interval)
{
clearInterval(interval)
}
}
</script>

and write this code after body tag in your html code

 
<h3 id="myHeader" onMouseOver="glow()" onMouseOut="back()" style="cursor:hand">Srees</h3>
this code work firefox and IE also

I would steer clear of blinking text if it causes seizures but if you must have blinking text I would put a warning up for people with seizures so we will navigate elsewhere to prevent seizures.
If I helped you I would appreciate it if you would give me some reputation.

This is a greatly exaggerated threat, as a little research will quickly show:
"As far as I'm aware, there has never been a reported case of photosensitive epilepsy caused by web content ..."

The fact is that blinking is both distracting and annoying. Why would you want to distract and annoy your visitors?
Blinking is kinda' like Flash:just because you can doesn't mean you should.
