I've found myself browsing sites that have random posts listed.  Sometimes I want to view more than one of those posts in the sidebar, but when I click on one, the whole thing refreshes.<\/p>\n\n<p>Having the random posts remain static for a period of time gives the user the opportunity to browse all of the random posts present.<\/p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, having the random posts static for a time may aid in SEO.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>What's the \"Refresh\" feature for?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Say, for example, you have the refresh rate set for sixty minutes.  You look at the current random posts, but aren't impressed with what's showing.  You can click \"Refresh\" until a suitable line-up of posts are displayed.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Can I provide a translation?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Sure.
