<p>Random Post Box is a plugin that lets you place a box anywhere on your blog, with template tag or shortcode, and<br />
load random posts with an interval and fade effect. It uses jQuery (Ajax) which means that the content is loaded without<br />
loading the rest of the page. The timings can be set in the admin options-panel.</p>
<p>The template tag is <code><?php random_post_box(); ?></code>. You can also use the shortcode <code>[random-post-box]</code> in a page or post.</p>
