   Hi,

   I searched a lot but I cant seem to find the right solution. What I would like is to show complete random full posts to each visitor from my database. Not only the title (I did see plugins for that)

   I am using the following code right now (in index.php)

   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <div class="entry">
   <h1 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
   <div align="left"><?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?></div>
   <div class="info">
   <p class="infoleft"><?php if ( the_tags('Tagged with ', ', ') ) ?></p>
   <p class="inforight"> <?php edit_post_link('Edit'); ?></p>
   <br clear="all" />
   </div>
   <?php if ( comments_open() ) comments_template(); ?>
   </div>
   <?php endwhile; else: ?>
   <div class="entry">
   <p><b>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</b></p>
   </div>
   <?php endif; ?>

   thanks!

   Look at the orderby=rand parameter in the template tag, query_posts().

   Great thx. I added

   <?php
   if (is_home()) {
   query_posts('orderby=rand');
   }
   ?>

   before the loop and it works!
