‘blink,’ when your Web surfing train goes wildly off course

I’m not really sure how I got there, but I did. Somehow, once again, I ended up at a random Wikipedia page.  This time, I feel compelled to share.

Do you remember the <blink> tag from the olden days of the Internet? Surely you do if you’ve been using computers for any length of time.

Anyway, here’s a Wikipedia article about just that.

For summary’s sake, the article quotes the tag’s creator as saying the <blink> tag is, “The worst thing I’ve ever done for the Internet.”

Let’s take this nostalgic moment to also remember our also dearly beloved and departed friend, the <marquee> tag.
