 * How do I use Jetpack’s Random Redirect function that was taken from Matt’s Random
   Redirect plugin? I can get a random post by using mysite.com/?random. How do 
   I show random posts from a specific category or tag?

 * The random redirect function is designed to redirect to a random post. You’d 
   need to design your own function to randomly redirect to a category or tag.

 * With this plugin ([http://wordpress.org/plugins/random-redirect-2/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/random-redirect-2/))
   you could limit the random post to a category or tag by adding an additional 
   parameter like: “&random_cat_id=11”
 * Maybe this could be added to Jetpack?

 * [@torsten](https://wordpress.org/support/users/torsten/) Other Random Redirect
   users suggested the same thing a few weeks ago. We’ll definitely consider making
   some improvements to the Random Redirect module, and I took note of that suggestion
   here:

 * Feel free to add yourself in cc of that ticket to follow our progress on this.
