Giving animated storyline on your blog is a good idea to attract your visitor and show them the summary of your contents. As we know, there are some random post plugin on WordPress Plugin Directory to show randomed post on your widget. However, some visitor will get more attention on something animated like GIF animation or AJAX effect.
AJAX Random Post is the best idea to solve this opportunity. You can download it in WordPress Plugin Directory. It will add sidebar widgets containing your randomed post. What is the benefit of it? Like I said before, it will show the summary of your post put by random. The main purpose is to give your visitor demonstration about what kind of post do you have and hold them from closing the tab if they have completely read the current article.
Beside displaying Random Post, AJAX Random Post will periodically cycle the post summary with AJAX JQuery animation, you can determine the time of each transition. So the showed post summary is only one but it will periodically cycling with JavaScript and JQuery animation.
So what are you waiting for? Just download it free called AJAX Random Post. Once activated, go to your widget settings, you will see new widget called AJAX Random Post. Add it to your sidebar. You will have some options to determine how many randomized posts should load and about the transition time between each summary to animate.
You can implement this widget on your sidebar and start attracting more visitor and make your visitor spend more time to read your blog around. If you have any problem with the plugin, i am here to help you…

Hey there,
I’ve just downloaded your plugin, but I don’t use widgetized sidebar. I’d like to have this on a part on my frontpage, is there any way I can do this?
Thanks!

Hello
What a cool plugin!
I wounder whether it might be possible to show all posts of a particular category instead of all posts. That would be an interesting feather specifically when working with pages.
Another question is if it might be possible to call the funnctions of the widget directly from a post or page for example via a php command (with the help of ExecPHP)?.
Kind regards,
Heiko
oke bro
just put the PHP code via your theme-editor
< ?php arp_widget();?>
Hi there,
Your plugin is very good, I put it on my site and it looks great!
Most of my posts are in Bulgarian, so I took the liberty to change this line
$excerpt = substr(strip_tags($post->post_content),0,300);
to
$excerpt = mb_substr(strip_tags($post->post_content),0,300);
because every once in a while substr cuts the 2-byte character in half and it prints a question mark. I hope you don’t mind.
Have a nice day!
@Dimitar Chakarov : you are free to edit the files
thanks for letting me know
What Heiko said. Either by category or exclusively posts and not pages.
Hi, I would like to know if I can post an attachment specific image with code.
I’ve tried this, but have no sucess:
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( ‘fieldname’ );
echo “$title$excerpt”;
Thanks for any help
