Hi,
I've been searching through the forums and looking online but can't find exactly what I am looking for. I have taken my links off my front page [created a links page]and would like to be able to display a small random list of links instead.
Does anyone know of a way to show a small list of random links from the links in the database?
Thank you to anyone who has a suggestion.

Matt uses a list of 12, but they seem updated by 'updated'
It's the bar div here:

set a limit of however many links you want, and order by 'random'
eg for a random list of 5 links:
<?php get_links(-1, '', '<br/>', '', 1, 'rand', 1, 0, 5, 1); ?> -

I gave it a try but not sure if I am not using it correctly or whether it is tied in to the updates and if so, I am not sure of how frequently that is happening etc...
Thanks Holographic.
It looks like this is doing almost exactly what I am aiming to do. Just one thing - something in here is calling the link descriptions too. If I want to turn that off how do I do so?
Thanks to you both for your help :) -
