Random Post Box
Random Post Box is a plugin that lets you place a box anywhere on your blog, with template tag or shortcode, and
load random posts with an interval and fade effect. It uses jQuery (Ajax) which means that the content is loaded without
loading the rest of the page. The timings can be set in the admin options-panel.
The template tag is <?php random_post_box(); ?>. You can also use the shortcode [random-post-box] in a page or post.
