  Hey, what happened to the “Random post” option that used to appear on the dropdown menu from the blogname in the black menu bar shown by other WordPress.com blogs?
  All I see in that option now is Stats, Shortlink, Theme, and Report this content.

  I always use this option while checking out a new blog to see if I want to follow it – it’s one of my favorite features.

  Did it disappear in a bug, or was it killed by design?

  Thanks

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

  Hi there,
  Staff are working on the Admin bar so what you refer to is “missing” for the time being. See here to create your own http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/02/13/wordpress-create-a-random-post-icon/

  Thanks – I can’t create my own on somebody else’s blog though! which is what I’m looking for.

  Any idea of an ETA for its return?

  Sorry no.
