When your blog has too many posts, visitors don't always have the time or desire to go through all the posts written there in order to make an idea of the blog's content. Thus, a random posts widget that will allow visitors to find content more easily could be really useful. This tutorial will show you how to add a random posts widget to display a list of posts in a random order with thumbnails and excerpts.

Demo

Step 1. Login to your blogger account, select your blog and go to "Layout".

Step 2. Add new widget by clicking on the "Add a gadget" link and select "Html/JavaScript" from the popup window.

Step 3. After adding the HTML/JavaScript, copy and paste the following script inside the empty Content box.
