 * Hey All,
 * I tried to do this myself and really messed things up so now i am asking for 
   help.
 * I am using this theme:[http://www.fabthemes.com/hunter/](http://www.fabthemes.com/hunter/)
 * I have a lot of “posts” featured on my homepage (nearly 50), and i want them 
   to all show up in a random order, versus the order i created them. Is there any
   efficient way to do this given the above theme?
 * I will be very grateful for any help
 * Jonathan

 * Maybe, but it’d be dirty and not very efficient from a code perspective.
 * 1. Count the number of posts available.
    2. Create a loop. 3. Take a random number
   from 1 to the limit, and call forth that post. 4. Repeat 3 until you reach the
   limit (quantity) or a pre-defined quantity. 5. You’d be making X individual requests
   until you call forth all the posts you desire.
 * I can’t say if there’s a way to do it natively.

 * Thanks Johnathan – would this solution switch up the order of the posts? Can 
   you advise on what code i could use to do this and where i could put such code?
