Hi guys,

Is there a plugin that rotates all of the posts so it looks like the blog is being update?

I have a number of blogs, some of them I update regularly, some of them I only update a few times a year, it would be really useful if I could rotate the posts on the blogs I don't update much.

Hi!

There are plugins like "random blog entry" where you can paginate through the entries and receive a random one. Also you could use the smarty_fetchPrintEntries function and order by "rand()".

However, IMHO conceptionally this isn't a wise idea. Why would a blog with random entries be useful, if everybody wouldn't see the content he expects, or see random entries where he'd expect NEW entries?
