    Basically just download it, upload to plugins directory. Add code in htaccess. Enable plugin in wordpress admin, and then you can create new cloaked links. Let me know if you need help.

    Pipes, sorry to jump in on your post but, I am using the one recommended by Ramphix, and it works fine in posts and pages.
    I was just wondering if any of them work in sidebar, for banners and such?

    link-cloaking works just fine for me really... although it doesnt cloak side-wide links...

    Thanks ahayiroglu, i guess i can live with not being able to cloak sitewides unless theres a solution that anyone is aware of for that.
