All,
Firstly please be aware that this required vBadvanced installed from http://www.vbadvanced.com.
The purpose of this check is to put links into a module that tell you if a site is up or down that you are linked to. If it is up, then you have a link to it with the information displaying when you hover over the link button. If it is down, then it tells you that it is offline.
An example of it running is at http://www.desertislandfruits.com.
