<p>The Random Featured Post plugin allows you to display a random post from a designated category. Ideally this should<br />
draw readers landing on your homepage to some of your best posts. The featured post will display the title<br />
“Featured Post” (customizable) along with the post’s title, an excerpt and a link to continue to the full post.</p>
<h3>Additional Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>The show_featured_post($PreFeature = ”, $PostFeature = ”, $AlwaysShow = false, $categoryID = 0, $NumberOfPosts = 0) function has five optional arguments.<br />
The first two are for any HTML you would like to display before and after the featured post. The third argument is a<br />
boolean (true/false) argument which will override the \’Show Featured Post\’ option and always display the featured post when true. The fourth option allows you to<br />
specify a single category to display from, overriding the selections in settings page. The fifth option allows you to show more than one post at a time, overriding<br />
the settings page option.</li>
<li>All output is contained in a DIV class named “featuredpost” and can be adjusted via your stylesheet.</li>
</ul>
