    Can someone show me how I can make a link on a webpage start flashing (or make it bold and/or coloured) whenever my RSS feed is updated?

    All help would be highly appreciated

    ;)

    Okay, so are you thinking people will be idling on the page, and while they are idling if the RSS does get updated a link will start flashing? Or when people visit the page will it be flashing if something new has been added?

    If they are idling then a simple Ajax timer and function can flash the link. If the are not then a php script can execute a javascript function that will flash the link on a timer. Depending on what you need.

    I want to create some sort of notifier on an extern page that tells people when my site has been updated, so they can click the flashing link and visit it.
