 * Hi-
 * I am trying to display my posts on the homepage randomly. I found this code:
 * `<?php query_posts(array('orderby' => 'rand', 'showposts' => 1)); if (have_posts()):
   while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>`
 * Its works great. It randomly displays posts. The problem is, I list the categories.
   When you click a category, it doesn’t show only those in that category it shows
   all posts. I removed the query and it works fine.
 * Any ideas?
