 * Hi I am working on putting a custom random post section at the bottom of the 
   content section but above the comments. The issue that I am running into is the
   comments from the page that is the last link under the random post section. Is
   there a way to fix this so the comments are from the article above? Here is what
   I have.
 *     ```
       <?php $posts = get_posts('orderby=rand&numberposts=4'); foreach($posts as $post) { ?>
               	<div style="width:180px; float:left;">
                  		<div class="clearfix" style="margin-right:25px;">
                       	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($page->ID, 'thumbnail'); ?></a>
                       </div>
                       <div style="font-size:12px; line-height:14px; height:43px; width:140px; margin-right:25px; margin-bottom:10px;">
                       	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
                       </div>
                  	</div>
            	<?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * Also is it possible to create this so that the current post doesn’t show up in
   the random post?
 * Thanks
    Brian
