I have developed a Random Posts widget for Blogger Blogs. Random posts widget displays random links of your blog. This help show content that is neither recent nor popular (because it is random
). The widget displays links in form of link lists. So you change the layout by changing the css of your blogger template.
Here is an example of the widget:
Installing this widget in your own Blogger blog is very easy:
1. Change the title of the widget if you want.
2. Change the number of posts links you want to display.
3. Click the “Customize” button to make the changes take effect, then click on the “Add to Blog” button.
Update:
As per janet’s request i have include an option to add a post summary to the random posts widget.
Preview:
Install this widget
1. Change the title of the widget if you want.
2. Change the number of posts links you want to display.
3. Change the number of words you want to include in the summary to display.
3. Click the “Customize” button to make the changes take effect, then click on the “Add to Blog” button.

Thanks !! I might try this on my blog. I’m currently using the LinkWithin to show related posts, but my posts are typically short so they might look crowded. This might be a good alternative.

I installed it on my blog and it’s working beautifully !!
May 2, 2009 - 12:11 am
Ya i will posts more widgets like these in future

hi..
I’ve used this widget into my blog. This is great. Thanks so much.
But the problem comes when i open my blog with IE and Go0ogle Chrome. This widget doesn’t work with them. But It works so well when i used firefox and opera.
Maybe you can fix it.
Thanks Blog go down

@ihsan i have checked on ie and google chrome, it works fine on it but if it still doesn’t work, put your blog link here and i will see what problem is in the widget. But it is working fine on my blog.

Hi, I've tried to add this to my blog but the link and the summary appear in the same color making it difficult to figure out which is the clickable link. And also the link doesn't appear in the bulleted format like in the preview. What can I do to solve this? Thanks.
June 7, 2009 - 10:13 am
@Ananonymous: you have to change your template to change the look of the widget.
June 10, 2009 - 1:27 am
great widget…but i have a problem…the 'circles' are not showed
June 10, 2009 - 1:56 am
@ferome: the circles are displayed because of the template. To change the icon you have to edit the li tag in the template
June 16, 2009 - 12:45 am
waiting for random post with image and summary, will be great for featured post
great work
June 18, 2009 - 2:21 pm
I just discovered your random posts widget. I've been looking for something like this for awhile now. I agree with some of the others here. If you can enhance it so an image from the post can be included I can almost guarantee dozens of my readers will also use it. Several of them have asked me about something like that already because I do something like it manually now. I will also feature it in a post just to let them know about it.

I tried it and I allways get only one post… pls help. MY link is
