   Hi,

   I'm trying to hard code a random posts area in my sidebar. I got this from the codex:

   <li>
   		    <h2>random posts</h2>
   			<ul>
   			<?php $rand_posts = get_posts('numberposts=4&category_name=blog&orderby=rand');
   				foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) : ?>
   
   			<li><div class="sidebar-post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   
   			<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { } else { } ?>
   			<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
   
   			<div class="blog-post-text">
   			<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
   			<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   			<p><a href="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">view now...</a></p>
   			</div></li>
   
   			</div>
   
   				<?php endforeach; ?>
   				</ul>
   
   		</li>

   The problem is that each post is picking up the same thumbnail (the first post's thumbnail). You can see this at http://pixelbang.com/travel in the bottom of the sidebar.

   Would anybody be able to help me out?

   Thanks,

   Nick

   Would this technique be incompatible with thumbnails?
