    Does anyone know how to randomise the order of the standard recent posts widget in wordpress? Thanks!

    It currently just displays title, no of posts and display post date option?

    I'm wondering how to do this with code, versus another plugin.

    Create your own and change the post order in the widgets query to RAND
