At one point I had a request from someone to add the capability to generate at a random link to one of the many fine sites tracked by UUpdates. So I figured.. why not? The original version pulled out a full list and let the client pick a site at random. This has some benefits for caching, keep a copy, but is generally inefficient. This new version just gives you a link and corresponding title of the randomly select site.

First your page must load the Javascript from UUpdates on your site. The following code will randomly select from any site in the database:

Step 2 - Call the Random URL function with your own Javascript
Then simply reference the randomuulink() function from within another Javascript. You can change the wording of the link within this Javascript.

For example:
For fun, there is also a page that will show random site details.
