## Description

You can bring on the first page or any other page, for the new visitors, the old
content.It’s no need of the question why should I do this because you want that 
your visitors could have in their view your older articles.

What does this plugin bring new?

Other plug-ins are already doing a great job about random posts, but for me was 
not important to show just a list of a few links to my articles; not just a random
generated list, with some titles. For some new visitors, the article’s content is
more important than the title, actually, for anybody this statement is true .
 So,
I created this plugin to mark out even some text from the random article.
