-It somewhat works, I was wondering if anyone else has tried to do something like the above to get "related posts" based on tags. The way that I have done it isn't very clever as it only links to the last 5 most recently posted items based on my parameters. Is it possible to "randomly" select a bunch of links from a set of user defined pagespecs?

-I know that the [[backlinks]] plugin exists for this sort of stuff (related links), it just lacks some user configuration options.
