MTRandomEntries

Container tag for the random entries that acts like MTEntries
If used within MTCategories , the random entries are chosen from current category.
If used within MTEntries , MTEntry , an Individual Archive, etc. or anything that contains an entry, the random entries are chosen from the categories of the current entry, OR-ed together.
It takes the following arguments:
- category: Restrict the list of entries from which the random entries are chosen to those in specific categories. You can either supply a specific category, or use AND or OR like in MTEntries
- lastn: Generate n random entries, defaults to 1
