This plugin might serve you great service in the future as your blog posts grow in size. The probability of readers drop by on your blogs and looking for old posts in the archive are very small. Instead of letting old posts buried in your sacred archive, why not use this great plugin to rejuvenate new breath to the old posts, put them in circulation at your recent posts.
How to implement this plugin? It's just a piece of cake. It took about an hour for me due to the lack of programming literacy. It is dead easy once you know how to play around with the parameters.
1. Visit this plugin site (Random Plugin). Activate it in your blog.
2. Put the following code into any pages that you like it to be appeared. As far as I'm concerned, I put it in single.php
<!--random posts plugin-->
<h3>Random Posts</h3>
<?php random_posts($limit="4", $len="30", $before_title='<li><b>',
$after_title='</li></b><br>', $before_post='<blockquote>',
$after_post='</blockquote>', $show_pass_post, $show_excerpt=true); ?>
<!--random posts plugin-->You may change the parameter to suit your blog and the parameters' descriptions are included in the plugin compressed file. I hope you will find this plugin to be useful.
