If you are familiar with Wikipedia, you may have seen the random article link which selects a random page from the many thousands. This small extension does something similar.

At the moment this just renders a hyperlink which points to a randomly selected post.  I hope to update this soon and turn it into a templated control so you can specify how the control is rendered and instead of using a plain hyperlink, maybe use an image or button, or whatever else you can think of

To install and use the extension, simply upload the file into the app_code\controls folder and insert the following code into your site.master page

<blog:RandomPost ID="RandomPost1" LinkTitle="Random Post" runat="server" /> 

You can download the file below:

RandomPost1.0.zip (836.00 bytes)

You can see the control in use in the left hand navigation bar just before the file download stats.
