This is a bit cleaner, and you will always list 8 pages.

In your original code you would list either 7 or 8, depending on whether the current page is in the first 8 after shuffling.

> <h1>{{ .Title }}</h1>
> {{ .Content }}
> 
> {{ range site.RegularPages | complement (slice .) | shuffle | first 8 }}
> <a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .Title }}</a>
> {{ end }}

> {{ end }}
