If your database has a field for date added then you can, otherwise i'd say you're in trouble...

Without looking at what you've got you'll need to do three things:

1. check the date of the link addition. how you do it depends on whether you're using a database or txt file.

2. check the current date eg:

$current_date = gmstrftime('%m/%d/%y', strtotime("0 days"));

that needs to be modified depend on how the date is recorded for the added links.

3. create an if statement to compare the two dates and check if the date is within a certain timeframe eg. 7 days.

Unfortunately it's not going to be that easy for you to implement something like that nooze...

Good Luck!
