Static Random Posts Widget

Allows the display of random posts, but allows the admin to determine how often the random posts are refreshed.

Why would someone want "static" random posts?

In my opinion, it's a usability enhancement to a website. I've found myself browsing sites that have random posts listed. Sometimes I want to view more than one of those posts in the sidebar, but when I click on one, the whole thing refreshes.

Having the random posts remain static for a period of time gives the user the opportunity to browse all of the random posts present.

Furthermore, having the random posts static for a time may aid in SEO.

What's the "Refresh" feature for?

Say, for example, you have the refresh rate set for sixty minutes. You look at the current random posts, but aren't impressed with what's showing. You can click "Refresh" until a suitable line-up of posts are displayed.
