Default "Random article" feature has technical glitch

I often click on the "random article" link for inspiration. Since yesterday, clicking on that link, instead of producing a random article, consistently results in delivery of the blog post about the hummingbird (not that I have anything against hummingbirds, but variety is nice!). Was this an intentional experiment or just a glitch?

Lol, that sounds funny. I went to test it myself, but I couldn't find the random feature.

The "random article" feature only appears on the pages for the forums. It's on the left hand side near the top, in a box that includes the following links: Steve's blog, products, free newsletter, audio, archives, and random article.

Ah ok! It used to be on the main website but it must have being removed.

Heh, yeah, me too, it points only to the hummingbird post. Perhaps a glitch in it just make it point to the last post.

Sorry about the signature. I'd been linking to the book since I joined the fora a year ago, and didn't realize it was a problem. The link to the blog was a new addition. Is it OK to keep that? All of the content is free and informational. I looked over the rules, and as far as I can tell, it meets them.

Yup linking to the blog site is fine, it was the book link that was a problem. The way you have it now is fine.

Your sig was probably not caught earlier since you haven't posted much on here.

How sad, I really liked the random article feature!

(ie, I just went looking for it and was rather confused to find it's been gone for at least 3 weeks. Which goes to show how often I use it - but I really liked it.)

Default Missing random link

Think there will ever be a solution to the problem? My personal development hasn't been as fast as steves. so often the older posts I find valuable, if only to remind myself of truths I already knew.

You could try something semi-random instead --

Google "site:stevepavlina.com/blog" and a random keyword that seems applicable to whatever is going on, like diet, efficiency, productivity, overwhelmed, relationships etc. It's not as random, but may be helpful.

Good suggestion.
