    WordPress Plugin — Random Redirect

    April 24th, 2007 - 1 Comment »

    Matthew Mullenweg and I have three things in common: [1] we’re both from Texas, [2] our blogs are both powered by WordPress, and [2] I’m the most important Derrich in the world as he is the most important Matt in the world. Not bad. One thing I can’t say — Matt is the founding developer of WordPress. Talk about oneupmanship. Thanks, Matt.

    Matt’s recent accomplishment is the Random Redirect WordPress plugin. Michael Arrington of TechCrunch found a button on StumbleUpon, an idea by Rafe Needleman, and asked Matt about a plugin on WordPress that could serve the same purpose. So, Matt responded by writing one. Download this plugin, activate it, and add “/?random” to the end of your domain (i.e. http://www.yourdomain.com/?random). That’s it. Give it a try on my blog. I’ve added it on a full-time basis at the bottom of each post.

    Now, if I can just get Matt to write a plugin that replaces my sticky “message” at the top.

    This is such a simple idea and I love it. I’m also glad that Matt is still helping out the Wordpress community.
