I’ve been trading a few emails back and forth with Yasmine Mustafa, founder of 123LinkIt, trying to get the plugin to work properly on this blog.  We’re not quite there yet, but I’m confident that the issue will get resolved.  Actually, at the moment, I have a nagging suspicion that it might be a user-related [...]

A Second Chance for 123LinkIt.com

June 20, 2010

It’s ironic.  Just yesterday I tweeted about second chances.  “Second chances are rare, and should not be squandered.”  I was referring to something completely different in my life, but today I received a surprise request for a second chance of a different kind. Yesterday’s post regarding my frustration with the WordPress affiliate marketing plugin called [...]
