You must have observed how my hyperlinks change color on mouse hover. Normally on mouse hover only a single color change is seen but thanks to
Dynamic Drive we can now easily change the color of our links to several colors. I have modified the code a bit for simplicity. This tutorial is really simple to follow and uses a JavaScript which we will save inside Blogger so there will be no external linking at all. Let’s start now,
To add this Flashing Link effect to your blogs do the following,
- Go To Layout > Edit HTML
- Search For </head>
- And just above </head> paste the code below,
<script type='text/javascript'>

You can change the value of var rate = 20. This controls the speed with which links change color.
