 * Good morning everybody!
 * Is it possible to display a random post from a fixed category everytime the page
   is refreshed?
 * I want to post inspirational quotes, and then randomly display them in my blog’s
   footer. And if possible, I prefer not to use a plug-in.
 * Can anybody help?
 * Thanks!
