That tag is way deprecated in the standards, and is handled
inconsistently in some browsers, although it still works in the
versions of IE and Netscape that I have here.  I wouldn't use it on a
Real Site(tm), though - use character entities, like you're supposed
to.  Trying to keep up support for crap tags like this is partly why
modern browsers are so nasily bloated and buggy.  If it's just for a
small one-off personal thing, though, go ahead and play in your
dirty little inflatable wading pool with your blink tags and center
tags and your unclosed paragraph tags.  Goddamn degenerates.
