 * Using Coffee2Code’s c2c_get_random_posts I get 1 random post in the sidebar: 
   c2c_get_random_posts(1, “postid=%post_id%<br/>%post_URL%
   %post_excerpt%”, “3”).
   This shows the id of the post etc.
 * However, I would like to include the attached image to the post like so (I think):
   $img = get_post_meta($id, ‘_wp_attached_file’, 1)
 * If a choose %post_content% instead of %post_excerpt%, the image shows up (normal
   behaviour) but then the post is waaay to long for a sidebar
 * Does anybody know of a way to solve this?
