Traipsing along late...
You've used three nonstandard HTML elements in that little demo:
<CENTER>, <FONT>, and <BLINK>. The first two are deprecated and should
be replaced with CSS, structural tags (I'd pick <H1> rather than a <FONT
size="value">), and AFAIK, <BLINK> was only ever implemented in Netscape
and Mozilla.
With my default user stylesheet, what you've just presented would be
displayed as normal, nonblinking, centered, text.
Better: <h1><strong>text</strong><h1>
Peace.
