#2, RE: Shuffle Results

Thanks for the reply. I’m using a daily list because I want to generate more content than a weekly list would. The news updates more often than weekly, it’s just not every day. My thought was that if I could shuffle the results, the pages would at least appear different to the SE spiders.

I did get the shuffle to work using the SSI tags, but then my archives get refreshed every time the page is accessed. I want to create static pages for my news archives.

My workaround was to create 7 different message lists (one for each day of the week) and have each with a slightly different selection of feeds and number of results. It’s crude and cumbersome, but it’s the best I could come up with.

I’ve got about 15 different sites I want to implement this on, so if you have any easier suggestions or if you see a problem with this approach, I’d appreciate the feedback.
