I found the neatest plugin for displaying some randomness on the front page. For my scenario, a client wanted to display random answers to her clients’ questions. She wanted to display this on the bottom of the front page.

The easy answer is the Random Featured Post plugin.

1. Through the plugin screen, go to “add new” and search for “Random Featured Post”.

2. Select the first search result and click on “install”.

3. Click on “Activate”.

4. Go to the Settings screen, and select the “Featured Post” screen where you can select the category from which the featured posts should show. Plus a few other options.

When you refresh your page, a new post will be randomly displayed.

A landing page or also known as a “static home page” can be an excellent branding tool for your online image. It is the familiar face that greets your visitors and lets them have a central location to see all the important things right up front.

Here is the tutorial that I guest posted elsewhere a month ago.
