Fear not! I brought blink back at http://terribleideas.neocities.org/ (and a bunch of other really terrible tags, like <shudder/>).

Did "Hot Dog Stand" have any legitimate use? How did it end up being delivered? EDIT: Apparently, useful for monochrome displays and some forms of colourblindness, according to a comment here (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2005/07/a-tribute-to-the-wi...)

Great stuff! I love a good satire. It's amazing what you can do with css there days. Especially <sparkle> is impressive. I also love that you used neocities. Who doesn't miss the 90s, right?

<sparkle> is implemented with just an animated gif background. Still, great stuff!
