   Great addition Matt. I was hoping there’s a widget available for this, but the link code works easily anyways. It’s good for the sidebars. Thanks.

   Lol, awesomely funny.

   Random Thursday? I clicked on the above link, and suddenly it was Saturday…
7. TheShortFatKid Apr 26th at 8:05 pm

   Very fun. I forgot I even wrote some of the posts that pop up when I use this.
8. JD Apr 26th at 8:07 pm

   There must be a way to incorporate that into the sidebar link to a random post. Something along the lines of recent posts, except for random posts…I can’t quite think how, tho
9. Joe Apr 26th at 8:10 pm

   cool!
10. ismailimail Apr 26th at 8:18 pm

    Thanks.

    can we add this to the blog info menu in the top right of the blue bar?
12. adam Apr 26th at 8:19 pm

    my personal favorite
13. the forester Apr 26th at 8:19 pm

    Wow, that is utterly useless. But I guess it could be fun. 😉
18. NeverRed Apr 26th at 8:36 pm

    Kewl… I really love the umm randomness of it!

    I like it!
21. Matt Apr 26th at 8:58 pm

    Adam, that’s a great idea. I’m deploying it now.
22. therealdonquixote Apr 26th at 9:04 pm

    Sweet, I like the fact that its a URL so we can customize it with images!!

    Here’s the greasemonkey script I created a few days ago for putting the Random Post on the admin bar (directly on the admin bar, not under Blog Info).

    Redundant now, but such is life. 🙂

    Quick question, can you make it into a “page” template? That way we can have “Random Post” in our top nav bars?? Now THAT would be awesome!!
27. empressmaruja Apr 26th at 9:57 pm

    Now that’s a fun one.
28. Grace Apr 26th at 10:06 pm

    Hmm. Interesting.
29. Farrell Kramer Apr 26th at 10:07 pm

    Super, then we can go from random post to random post. Kind of an intrablog stumble…
30. moscarey Apr 26th at 10:26 pm

    good job Matt 😀
31. hamlet Apr 26th at 10:34 pm

    what a funny addition 🙂 thanks..
32. NAyK Apr 26th at 10:40 pm

    Thanks, it’s an exciting possibility. I’ve deployed it here ( http://regenerationayk.wordpress.com ) on the right side bar. I used a text widget.
33. Brian Purkiss Apr 26th at 11:15 pm

    THAT’S AWESOME.
    I’m going to put that on my blog right now.
    Thanks!
    You guys rock!
34. ananta Apr 27th at 12:17 am

    this surely what i’ve been looking for, great, thank man!
35. jeffchin21 Apr 27th at 1:05 am

    I agree with therealdonquixote. Can you make it a “page” link so that we can recirculate/introduce readers to random old posts?
36. bassclar Apr 27th at 1:07 am

    The “snap shots” preview is evidently not random on these random links.
37. engtech Apr 27th at 1:50 am

    @therealdonequixote: if you have the CSS upgrade you can move the random post link anywhere you want.

    I have it in my sidebar with the rest of the stuff like my tag cloud, sidebar, sitemap, etc.
38. calupict Apr 27th at 2:33 am

    It’s just sooo funny. I really like it.
39. Jim Apr 27th at 3:01 am

    goodie! 🙂
40. Kunal Apr 27th at 5:19 am

    now this is one fun addition 🙂
41. pakosuperstar Apr 27th at 5:23 am

    it’s ok.
42. EscRiBiTioNiSt* Apr 27th at 5:39 am

    Aha.. thanks Matt.

45. Chittaranjan Apr 27th at 9:05 am

    Cool feature that…fun too!

    BTW, care to tell how the ‘Randomness’ is calculated

    aaaa…. Fuuuun… 😆

47. bandith Apr 27th at 10:15 am

    Can you give me some more example to try? I have tried it but no result found. What is its syntax to add in the post?

    I like this one a lot. Planning to add it as a text widget. 🙂
53. itsmeritesh Apr 27th at 12:25 pm

    hey isnt this the thing used to mimic the features of stumbleupon. Techcrunch talked about you developing a stumble like feature. good add though.
54. outeasy Apr 27th at 12:37 pm

    I tried it and I’m stuck in a Cheeseburger and can’t get out!
55. verbocity Apr 27th at 12:48 pm

    It is fun and interesting. Already I’m thinking of what to do with it. Great idea. Thanks for sharing the tip.
56. Søren Holmberg Apr 27th at 12:51 pm

    I added this to my sidebar too. Pretty neat.

    Does this have any effect on site stats? I mean, if you post the ?random url on other sites and someone clicks it, will it show a hit for the post they happened to land on?

    I guess I’ll have to try, but if it does, it could complicate reading your statistics a bit.
66. Indigo Apr 27th at 9:29 pm

    I love this option!!!!! THANK YOU!
