[wp-hackers] link_updated field in db is never updated

[Carthik Sharma]

The Link updated in this case refers to whether you  are checking
weblogs.com to see if the linked website/blog has bee updated in the
last XX minutes/hours.
The link manager has this feature, and there is a very simple plugin I
wrote you can use to check if links have been updated.
http://carthik.net/wpplugins/  is where you shall find it.
