 * is it possible to load thumbnails at random. I know you have a slide show example
   that loads random image at the start of the slide show. But What i’m trying to
   do is load 10 thumbnails at random. Let me know if this is possible.

 * As you stated, the parameter: start=”random” just gives you a random starting
   photo.
 * The random feature is available in the Pro edition of the plugin – [http://www.slickrflickr.com/upgrade/random-flickr-photos](http://www.slickrflickr.com/upgrade/random-flickr-photos)
 *  So to display 4 photos randomly say in a sidebar widget from a possible set 
   of 30 you would use items=”30″ random=”4″. The sort order of the displayed photos
   is also randomized as well as the selection.
 * This feature uses caching so the information about the photos is only fetched
   once from Flickr. This makes it perform efficiently. The cache expires after 
   24 hours but you can clear it sooner manually if need be if you replace photos
   on Flickr.
