This is a mod with potential but it is somewhat limited in the 'randomness' of the articles as the only display options available are either "Recently modified first" or "Recently added first".
So if you are only showing one article at a time (and wanting a random display on page load) then something that displays any article (like say the Random Image module) would be better.
Also if you have any CSS "Read More" design in your display it will not show the 'Read More' link even though it displays the intro text only (but yes, the title is linked provided this is how you set these parameters).
Works fine within the limitations noted however.

This module is great, but it would perfect if we could only show the latest X news (10, 15...) because actually i'm showing some "Olds" too, from 2004, 2005...
It would be great if we could limit the articles showing by date.
