 * The code I’m using to query my post is below but for some reason the orderby=
   rand is not working. I’ve read several different posts on this saying it conflicted
   with something that had to do with if i used “WP Sticky” which i currently don’t
 * `query_posts("posts_per_page=1&category_name=news&orderby=rand");`
 * If someone can provide a solution to get this working that would be great! Thanks.

 * actually got this fixed. It was conflicting with another plugin called “Post 
   Types Order”
