## Description

The Random Featured Post plugin allows you to display a random post from a designated
category. Ideally this should draw readers landing on your homepage to some of your
best posts. The featured post will display the title “Featured Post” (customizable)
along with the post’s title, an excerpt and a link to continue to the full post.
