Jumping to Random Blogs

  From the dashboard, on the gray strip at the top, there used to be a button on the far right that would send one to a random blog. Within the past week or so, it has been replaced by a Search button, preceded by a “Search WordPress.com Blogs” entry field.

  I must admit, the random jump feature was sometimes frustrating, as after say about 20 random jumps, the same blogs would start to appear again and again, until no new random blogs would open. The next day, however, all new blogs would open, and so on and so on.

  So, while there was that frustration, I kinda miss the “random jump” feature and was wondering if it would be restored, or perhaps, if there is another way to do it.

  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Someone brought it up a couple of days ago. I suggest you send the request in to staff. I liked that feature too.

  You can still have that feature, by putting this in the address bar of your browser and hitting return:

  Staff replied to me that with them working on the admin bar that just haven’t put it back yet.
  Be patient, it’s coming back.

  And if you drag that link up to your browser’s bookmark toolbar, you don’t have to copy/paste it in the address bar. :)

  Thanks for all the replies!

  Panag: I thought I had tried that link sometime ago, and it took me to a WordPress help page. Tried it again just now, and it works – a random blog! Again, thanks!
