Well there is the blink tag. It was removed from IE6 because of how annoying it is. It lives on in browsers lie firefox. I would recommend not using it! Most web users hate it, its a good way to make people dislike your website!
I know there is the 'blink' property under text-decoration in CSS.
eg. <a style="text-decoration: blink;">This text link should blink</a> But, this not implemented in some browsers. I know it does work in Firefox, therefore should work in other modern Mozilla-based browsers but I couldn't get any text blinking in my version of Internet Explorer 6.
"Blink" does not work in IE6. If you want my opinion i do not think blinking text is cool. :-(

Tasteful uses of the <blink> are rare, but I find that Superbad does a pretty good job.
If you want blinking text that will work in all browsers, you'd have to use animation, such as in a GIF image or a Flash movie. It might be possible to use javascript to do it, also, but I wouldn't know where to start. To make it work with a GIF, you could take two approaches. One, create a GIF image with text that flashes on and off. Two, create a gif that alternates between the background color and being completely transparent. Then, using CSS, position the blinking GIF over text so that it alternates between showing the text and covering it. So that's how you could do it. It's really not worth the trouble, if you ask me.
if you cant do any of the above .. consider using a sequence of images or GIF's .. one image with the text visible and the other with the text invisible.. create a sequence of images using Imageready or so..
Voila,, flashing gifs hope it helps, Tariq
Dreamweaver have this function, but better use *.swf files.

Link in ref: http://stud1.tuwien.ac.at/~e9125168/javaa/jflash.html Follow the direction on that page. Replace the text to the display you need. Make sure to download the java applet and place them in the correct directory. Although java may not run on all browsers or anyone who turns off the java, you will have at least fun wathing it work. I think I might add this to my own site... Cheers.
Use the above if you use IE, since blinking text is not compatible with IE. If you use Mozilla/Mozilla Firefox, or Netscape, the HTML tag is <blink>text</blink>

I think flash is definately amazing. im currrently designing a new flash file for my website. most likely the whole thing will be flash. there are heaps of tutorials on the net that you can find. It teaches you step by step to make the things you want such as flash image galleries. Or even preloaders.
All you need to do is choose the type that is more simple for you .. try it.. it taught me alot. I didn't learn much flash in uni as much as i did with tutorials. There are also books called Flash for dummies. lol sounds silly but its pretty good.  .. when im done with my site hope you guys drop by.. If anyone is interested to see what i have in future just check often on www.myspace.com/keegonguyen to see if i post new blogs regarding my site.
