   Hey, another weird request and as always pretty darn important.
   I am using WP for a static blog. that means its like an interface for static information. so i want an index page that shows x number of random posts from the blog database!
   is it possible and how! :O)

   I don't know if something has been written or not, but it shouldn't be too difficult.
   SELECT whatever FROM table ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT X

   I just made one that pulls X number of entries etc. Need to iron it out and it can become a plugin.
