There are plugins for wp.ORG which will do that: I use something like that for my "work" blog. But that is hosted elsewhere and uses wp.ORG software.

I explain myself: a random galery of images, displaying the featured image, then if you click on an image, i would like to read the corrispondent post.
You can find something very similar to what i am looking for in the right sidebar of thesartorialist.com (random post).

I have tried with gallery or displaypost shortcodes, but i am not able to obtain a dacent result (as shown in my page ricette!)

Please help

Make a dummy post with the desired image and set your Custom URL (to http://example.wordpress.com/?random) under Attachment Display Settings when inserting image. Copy and paste code from said dummy post into a text widget.

Without the spaces and insert your blog for 'example.'

That's just text, though. I'm also interested in an image version of this!

This requires me to take sample of random blog posts. Hence, I would like to know if it is possible to get a random URL to a random blog post every time I click on something. Or is there a special URL that can do this job? If I remember correctly, you guys used to have a button like "read a random post!" long time ago, but I can't find it anywhere now. Your helpful advise will be very much appreciated.

sitename.wordpress.com/?random

To get a random post. Are there any other secret codes?
/?latest
/?next
/?previous
/?first

I can't find the /?random in the wordpress documentation - is it an easter egg?

The idea is to have just one post on the homepage and be able to click somewhere to make another random post appear at the same page.
If possible, i'd like to be able to show just the title of the random post, and then, when the person clicks on it, it goes to the whole post.

Is it possible to be done with wordpress?
Could you help me? Its a project for my master, so i really need help to make it happen.

Thanks!
