Matt Mullenweg creator of WordPress released a neat little plugin called Random Redirect. It allows your blog readers to randomly discover your blog posts. Matt says the Random Redirect plugin:
Allows you to create a link to yourblog.example.com/?random which will redirect someone to a random post on your blog, in a StumbleUpon-like fashion. You can also specific in the URL random_post_type or random_cat_id.
Now, I love StumbleUpon and actually spend time stumbling for fun. So, I think other folks like it as well, after all there are over 5 million Stumblers who use StumbleUpon. The Random Redirect plugin allows your readers to stumble, in a sense, the posts on your blog. Here’s one way to do it.
Create a widget in your sidebar like the screen shot below or some other globally visible area on your blog like your header or footer. Make a link that says something like “For a good time read my blog randomly.”
I placed the link code below in a Text widget in WordPress:
For a good time <a href=”http://localhost/wordpress27/?random”>randomly read</a> my blog.
{ 4 comments… read them below or add one }
Hum.. I am looking for the same king of thing but i want a random redirect after a user has posted a comment
