 * I’m displaying 6 posts in random order with the button loading 6 more posts at
   a time. The first 6 posts often repeat with the AJAX load.
 * I’ve tried to set the offset to 6, but then it just removes those posts from 
   the display.

 * Hi.
    You cannot order by random. Sorry – I havent been able to solve this one.

 * I’m trying to randomize the loading of user-created stories, so the visitor gets
   something different each time. Do you know of a way to change the orderby variable
   every load, so it looks random?
