blue ribbon

A few days ago I posted an ascii art ribbon to be a blue
ribbon. Now I have taken that and with a touch of work made
an html graphic. The neat feature of this is that I made
all the non-whitespace text of the graphic into a link back
onto the page. This causes it to be highlighted no matter
what browser is being used. Then for browsers which support
<body bgcolor....> statements (are there any besides
Netscape?) the links will show up blue. Thus I have an
enhanced for netscape page which is simultaneously lynx-
friendly.

Give it a look-see.
