I think it is a joke.
Also, as far as I can remember, you could never combine <marquee> and <blink> because only IE supported <marquee> and only the Netscape family of browsers supported <blink>.
I think there is a lot of humor in this article that is maybe a little too subtle.

- Kadin 5y agoMy memory at this point is faded, but I thought that was the point? You used both of them to cover both the Netscape and IE cases. (Hence, the joke, that to combine the two made you a Great Web Developer, since you knew about such things. The bar was rather low in those days, to be honest.)
- Calavar 5y agoI don't think so. <marquee> and <blink> do different things. <marquee> makes its content scroll across the page. <blink> makes it's content turn invisible and then reappear about once per second.
