  The Random hot post: link on the dashboard.
  How can I get one of my posts linked to from here? How do I tell if I am selected?

  Cheers

  Be really, REALLY popular and new. And if you’re it, you’ll see it on your Stats page as a referral from either http://botd.wordpress.com or wordpress.com itself.

  I’ve had referrals from wordpress.com. Does that mean I was on BOTD??

  It means either someone happened to see you on “Most Recently Updated” or yes, you’re a featured blog in some hot category.
