 * i know that there is a specific plugin to do the job but my question is if there
   is a way to randomize my posts not on refresh the page but on time limit…like
   for example every 24 hours…
    any suggestions? thanks;)

 * By seeding the MySql random number generator with the Julian date, you can get
   a different set of posts every day.
 *     ```
       $seed = gregoriantojd(date('m'),date('d'),date('Y'));
          $sql = "select * from $wpdb->posts order by rand($seed) limit 0,10";
       ```

 * You will need to edit your theme’s file that displays the posts. The exact file
   and exact changes depend on the theme. It is usually index.php, but is a different
   file in some themes.
 * If you are using a free theme, post a link to your site and I may be able to 
   give more specific help. If you are using a paid theme, you will need to contact
   the supplier for help.
