AAARRRGGGHHH….My Bad

Just spent a day and a half scouring the internet to find a solution to cloaking affiliate links!

The reason was because the simple-to-use system I attempted at first did NOT work!  I spent hours trying to get it to work properly with no success.

So I went looking for an answer at Google, Ask.com and Utube.  As you can imagine, I found more information than I needed.  Do this, do that, but this, buy that, download this, that and some more of this while you’re at it!

The more I read, the more convinced I became that I was making a SIMPLE mistake.  But what was it?

So I junked everything I had downloaded, printed out, etc.  and started over.  Using the same system I started with. (For a change, I did not buy a solution – again, I was convinced the system I had would work but I was doing something really simple the wrong way.)

This time the system worked just as it said it was supposed to! Hoo…ra!!!

Turns out that at one step I was spelling a file name incorrectly which prevented things from working properly.  And I did it again and again and again…until the last time.

Ooops.    Why can’t my computer figure out what I’m trying to do and let me do it and clean up after me if need be?
