This is the right to hear about new HTML tags, but <BLINK> will never
be among them :-)

Go off and read the HTML 2.0 draft for a full spec of HTML as it is
currently implemented. For blinking you have to go look at netscape's
web pages.
http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/HTML.html
http://www.netscape.com/assist/net_sites/index.html

To have more than one line of text adjacent to an image requires a
browser capable of showing it. The magic words are
<IMG ALIGN=LEFT SRC=... ALT=...> where ALIGN can be LEFT or RIGHT

Currently I think only Arena and Netscape (probably Emacs as well).

These sorts of questions are best directed at the Usenet newsgroup
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html or to the www-talk mailing list,
rather than this list, which is trying to nail down the last few
characters in the HTML 2.0 spec.
