If you have ever wondered if there is way to create a random post link at the top of the blog like in Wordpress, I have create an easy to install script that gives you this feature in Blogger/Blogspot blogs.

You can view it in action at the top of the post area of my blog:

The special refreshing link on my site is caused by putting the code to pick out a random post within a tick handler. The installation is considerably harder, requiring more programming exp, so I haven't yet created a tutorial on how to add it to a site.

It would involve editing the template, and a few other major steps. If I have time I might write up a tutorial on how to do it, or if you have some programming exp feel free to view the source code on my blog

You should be able to rip it out of the HTML source.
