The <blink></blink> tags are one way, but, as with all things, there's more than one way to do something.
Blink Tags:
JavaScript Blinking Text
MySpace Blinking Text Generators.
Someone will no doubt come along and tell you not to use blinking text as it's irritating, outdated, etc., but go for it if you want it. No worse than some sites with Flash or a bunch of animated images.

Major:
I would like to have the following words blink: "Visit the Haunted House, a Halloween Special, Here". I'm using Adobe GoLive 6 and XP Pro but perhaps I don't have the blink and unblink in the right places. Or could there be some other problem? Many thanks.
Original Source Code
<p><font color="#ff8c00" face="Georgia,Snap ITC"><font size="4"><i><b>Visit the Haunted House,<br>
a Halloween Special,</b></i><a href="halloween/haunted.htm"><i><b><br>
</b></i></a></font><font size="3"><i><b><a href="halloween/haunted.htm">Here</a></b></i></font></font></p>
<p><br>
Revised Source Code to include "blink"
<p><font color="#ff8c00" face="Georgia,Snap ITC"><font size="4"><blink><i><b>Visit the Haunted House,<br>
a Halloween Special,</b></i><a href="halloween/haunted.htm"><i><b><br>
</b></i></a></font><font size="3"><i><b><a href="halloween/haunted.htm">Here</blink></a></b></i></font></font></p>
