Keep visitors on your website longer and get more traffic on your website by inviting your visitors to read random posts! It’s easy! Just install the randomPost plugin, and select the random URL slug you want to use. This URL slug will redirect your users to a random post of yours! We recommend using the word “random” as your URL slug, but the option exists to use any slug you’d like. Once configured, add the new URL with the slug to your menu as a custom link. That alone will invite visitors to stick around.
To add on top of that, we’ve added a configurable hotkey! If a visitor presses R on their keyboard, it’ll automatically load a random post! You can change the hotkey to be any key you’d like. To add a little more fun to your website, put a notice telling visitors to “Press R to read a random post”.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Easily change the URL for the random post redirect. </li>
<li>Easily change the hotkey for the keyboard shortcut to read a random post.</li>
<li>Easily enable or disable the hotkey function.</li>
<li>Uninstalling the plugin will clean up all data it has stored in the WordPress database.</li>
</ul>

Using this widget you can easily place the Cool-er Hot Pink containing an image of the cover of the book you are reading in the sidebar. You can also specify a URL to link to when clicking on the book cover image. Supports multiple instances, so you can use it multiple times in multiple sidebars. (adapted from the Simple Image Widget)
Once the plugin is enabled, the widget will be available in your widgets list as “Cool-er Hot Pink Widget”. You can add this widget to sidebars as many times as you need. The control interface allows you to specify the following options for each instance of the widget:
<ul>
<li>Image URL: The full URL to the image file</li>
<li>Alternate Text: Shown by the browser if image cannot be displayed</li>
<li>Link URL: URL to open when the book cover image is clicked on (optional)</li>
