I made an addon that manages links like a randomized blogroll. You can add or remove links on the addons page, and it shuffles the list every time the links page loads to avoid implied order in the links. I cribbed solicitously from Rob's Anti-Spam addon--I hope that's OK. You can see it in action at:

It just manages the top group of links on that page.

I don't know how to safely provide a zip file, but if there's interest I can post the code in this thread.

are you using windows xp?

if so, put the addon in a folder, right click on the folder and send to --> zip

Or, grab something like winzip (http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0.html?qt=winzip&tg=dl-20&search.x=0&search.y=0&search=+Go%21)

Using Mac OSX. Zipping's no problem, just not sure how to make it available in a public folder. Here's a try:

http://asiftosay.com/ftp/shuffled_links.zip

It may not play nicely with advanced_stats and random_image. At least, both of them showed errors at one point while I was working on it. The random_image addon had an error for a few reloads, but now they all seem to be working, although I didn't change anything that to my limited knowledge would have helped. Anyway, there it is. I wouldn't be offended in the least if someone with more skills changed/fixed it. Cheers!

Edit: I think the above problem is just that Advanced Stats isn't behaving in general.
