 * I just installed Random Redirect. It installed fine with plug installer, and 
   now it is active, but I don’t see any way to access it. It is nowhere in the 
   dashboard. There are no directions at all with the plugin.

 * The documentation is so basic, it’s easy to miss. (I missed it at first too.)
 * The randomizer works by just sticking “?random” at the end of your blog’s URL.
   So if your URL is:
 * [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com)
 * Your random URL would be:
 * [http://www.example.com/?random](http://www.example.com/?random)
 * (Be sure the slash is in there after the domain name.)
 * Just put this URL into a link in the template for your sidebar or wherever else
   you want the random link to appear.

 * I had tried that originally. I got an error message so I thought there must be
   more to it.
 * I now get this message-
 * Not Found
 * The requested URL /go.php was not found on this server.
 * Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument
   to handle the request.

 * Hey, [http://www.example.com/?random](http://www.example.com/?random) works good
   for me.
 * But, how do I use the new parameters?
    `random_post_type` or `random_cat_id`
 * I’d love an example…

 * I would like to see an example of the other parameters as well… I am COMPLETELY
   stumped as to how to use them!
 * Thanks!

 * Oh no, this topic is marked as [resolved]. I wonder if we should start a new 
   one?
