 * I’m interested having the post output of wordpress randomized instead of in reverse
   chronological order as it usually works. Any ideas on how to achieve this?

 * You can do this with a few lines of code:
 * [https://presscustomizr.com/snippet/show-random-posts-front-page/](https://presscustomizr.com/snippet/show-random-posts-front-page/)
 * HOWEVER, if your site uses any caching, the odds of anyone seeing different orders
   is pretty low because the first visitor will set the cache and then everyone 
   else will see it until the cache of the page expires.
