# Pull Randomly

 * Is there a way to have the posts show up randomly.
    If the page is reloaded it
   would pull another random post from whatever tags I choose.
 * I would like to use this for testimonial posts that would show up on the sidebar
   randomly that have the tag of whatever service page it is on. By using the custom_field
   option which works great but I only would like to show one post and have it randomly
   generate.
 * Is there a way to do this or would you be willing to add this option or tell 
   me where in the code to force this.
 * I have some programming background and would be willing to try anything. Because
   so far this is the only plugin that comes close to what I need it to do and it
   meets all requirements that I need EXCEPT for this one thing.
 * Thanks

 * Right now it is not possible to do it using my Plugin.
 * It is there in my todo list and I will add support for it when I get some free
   time.
 * Meanwhile, if you are interested in implementing this feature, then checkout 
   the shortcode handler function in my Plugin.

 * Can you post a “shortcode handler function” example to display random tags?

 * The Plugin right now **doesn’t** support displaying posts in a random.
 * Th feature is there in my todo list and would add it when I get some free time.
