 * How do I do to raffle aleatory some posts that I to select?
 * Example:
    I choose the id posts: 1, 7, 13, 22 and 42
 * And I made a prominence area to exhibit just one of them, and when it refresh
   the page, I exhibited another one (random).
 * Did I see plugins, but is everybody to random any post, and me precise to random
   specific posts and do I believe that won’t need plugins for that, it could help
   me?
 * Thank you.

 * I’m not sure I understand. Are you looking for a widget to place a random post
   title in your sidebar?

 * This is possible with the [Random One Cat Widget](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/random-one-cat-widget/).
   Since you just assign these posts to a category and then it will choose one of
   them to display.
