Stumbleupon Like Browsing for Your WordPress Blog

Stumbleupon Like Browsing for Your WordPress Blog

One of the reason why people use Stumbleupon is because it is easy. People click on the Stumble button, and it opens a new page, that they either like, or they click the stumble button again to go to the next site. In WordPress, you can setup a stumbleupon like browsing system where your user can click on a button which will open a random post from your site.

To accomplish this method of browsing, you will need to download a plugin called Random Redirect which is developed by no other, but Matt Mullenweg, founder of WordPress itself.

Once you install this plugin, all you have to do is create a graphic button that says Random and link it to:

http://www.yourblog.com/?random

You can display it as a link also.

With this simple plugin in place, you can significantly increase your pageviews and potentially get more user interaction.

Edit: The Demo link was removed because it puts a lot of load on larger databases.

    That’s a nice plugin that has been around for a while. Works great for blogs with lots of pictures.
