  I would like to have a box somewhere in the blog which shows a random sentence each time someone refreshes the page, the sentences being taken from a list. How can I do it?

  Another possibility would be having a box which shows a random post from a specific category of the blog, and then creating posts, in that category, containing only the sentences. Is this possible?

  Thanks in advance

  I’m sorry but that’s they way it is. We cannot use JavaScript on free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons as this is a shared environment ie. we are all working on the same multiuser blogging platform. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
