  Dear WordPress,

  There are a lot of varied ideas/bloggers/posts on your site. Is there a way that you could create a button for “random posts” from all WordPress bloggers?
  I find that I use the same “tags” to look for new content… but what if the stuff that I’m interested in isn’t tagged at all, or is tagged with something I don’t ever think of?
  What if I write something that turns out to be pretty cool, but I don’t happen to use a catchy tag that day?

  Maybe there could even be filters – like random posts from the last 24 hours or the last week, random posts from a certain country, or other big, general categories.

  Thanks!

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

  Thanks for sharing your ideas.

  We don’t have a “random” category as you describe, but we know it’s fun to stumble upon posts that we didn’t expect to, or be drawn to a topic we don’t normally seek out.

  The Freshly Pressed tab is an editor-curated stream of picks across topics: http://discover.wordpress.com/ This feed will be updated/expanded upon later this year.

  You’ll also find big general categories of blogs in Recommendations: https://wordpress.com/recommendations/

  You might already be familiar with these tabs, but wanted to point out just in case.
