 * Hello!
 * I find myself confused…
 * Having (not enough) experience in creating custom loops, and the functionality
   your plugin provides is almost exactly what I’m looking for, can you tell me 
   why your code works offline but not online?
 * It’s quite happily ticking away on Firefox 4 as part of my testing rig; but now
   the code is in `ctspro.co.uk` it refuses to work.
 * I have inserted `<?php random_post_box(); ?>` into an include that in turn governs
   what’s in my sidebars.
    I have pasted the code into the code-block that governs
   what happens when there is no dynamic sidebar; still no dice. I have tried attaching
   the shortcode `[random-post-box]` into a text widget (something which I would
   like to suggest as a feature BTW), but again no joy.
 * I have also deactivated a plugin that I thought could be conflicting, but that
   hasn’t worked either…
