 * Is there a way to display a list of random posts in a Block?
 * And it also appears that I can’t add any Homepage Widgets with Atomic Blocks.
   
   Or am I just missing something?

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for writing in. The Post Grid block will let you add a list of blog posts,
   but we currently don’t have an option for a random output. We’ll definitely consider
   this though!
 * Widgets are a core feature, so Atomic Blocks doesn’t have any particular way 
   of working with them. You can insert some of the widgets directly into the page
   by using the widget blocks.
 * Soon, you’ll be able to use all the widgets in defined widget areas. This is 
   still under development by the core team though.

 * Jumping on this topic to ask how to add a list of blog posts to the Post Grid
   block? I have specific posts/pages I would like to add to the grid instead of
   having it pull from a Category. Thank you!

 * Hey [@mindyjoy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindyjoy/)
 * > how to add a list of blog posts to the Post Grid block?
 * ^ This i would accomplish by adding a unique category to that specific list of
   posts to more easily display them together with the **Post/Page Grid Block**.
 * > I have specific posts/pages I would like to add to the grid instead of having
   > it pull from a Category
 * I am not sure if you are wanting to load both post and pages in the same block,
   which will not be possible. If that is not the goal, then i would just make specific
   categories for grouping the pages or posts you are trying to group together.
 * (i hope this makes sense, sorry if it is confusing)

 * Hi Madison, Thanks for the response. From the Plugin Author’s above comment, 
   it sounds to me like you can put specific posts (a list of posts) into a grid
   block. So I’m trying to find out how to do that. Using a unique category won’t
   work because I need to be able to control the order in which the posts show up
   in the grid block.
 * So hopefully someone can tell me how to do that because I can’t figure it out!
   Thanks 🙂
