<p>The <strong>Image Refresh</strong> plugin allows you to randomly display a different image on every page load.</p>
<h4>Why?</h4>
<p>Many people like to vary up the images on their site just to keep things fresh.  Loading a new image every time someone visits your homepage is something that should be simple, right? Alas, people resort to using plugins that are not meant for this purpose and end up sacrificing performance for the sake of a fresh look. Well, my friend, the search has ended.

<h4>How?</h4>
<p>Using this plugin is simple:</p>
<ol>
<li>Install the plugin</li>
<li>Activate the plugin</li>

<li>Add the <code>[mpress_image_refresh]</code> shortcode where you want your image to appear.</li>
<li>Save your changes.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Features</h4>
