Blurring text, Moving mouse over text Options

[goober13]

Okay Hi again, how do you get the Text to Blur once you move the Mouse over it? Or maybe even get crossed out? I really appreciate it! Thankssss!!!!

<style>
<!-- Link effects: Blur : : Blogring.net
Direction should be in degrees and strength is blur intensity
-->
a:hover {filter:blur(add="0",direction="45",strength="5"); height:0;};
</style>

I placed this code, and another like it, on my xanga before...the code works fine, but when you run the cursor over some links entire sections of my blog entries disappear!!

Why does this happen? Is there a way to fix it??
