  I want to add a random post widget to my blog, but the only info I can find is for WordPress.org sites. Can you help with this?

  You need to add /?random to your URL. You can copy and paste the following into a widget:-

  
  click here for a random post

  and it will create a link that visitors can click on. You can change the “click here” text if you want.
