Wordpress PHP question

Hello All

I have a query on one of my wordpress pages that look like this

<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=9&showposts=3"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><strong>
      <?php the_title(); ?>
    </strong></a> 
	</li>
    <?php endwhile; ?>

PHP:

I want to have it pull random posts from category number 9 and show 3 posts. As it is now it shows the most recent posts. What would I need to change to make it show random posts?

Thanks
Alex

 

You can do this using the Customizable Post Listings plugin available at http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/
