Thanks! Ok, I am falling asleep while I am reading this so I went "what?" when I read what you wrote, but I have a feeling that when I wake up I will be able to process what you said.
The first way you mentioned would be like your flicker blinkie, right? You did by an IMG code, right? The second way, I have read on because I don't know html or flash (but I don't mind learning). How hard/time consuming is it to learn them?
