MTRandomComment (v 0.12)

MTRandomComment is a new movetype plugin. I've included two versions in the archive: the plugin version, and the php version.

<$MTCommentBody$>

Download randomcomment.tar.gz or randomcomment.zip, unpack it, and put randomcomment.pl in your plugins directory to use the plugin version. Container tag that acts like <MTComments>, but contains only one comment Comment randomly chosen from entire blog unless the argument entry_id is used, which then limits <MTRandomComment> to that one entry
Fixed MT Date tag bug Initial Version

The php version can just be dropped into a template module and incuded. But be sure to change the variables to appropriate values for your site.

Update: here is the download link. I really need to start getting more sleep. :)
