Weird behavior in date field

I'm trying to "trick" the date field in maketitle into allowing me an extra line to link to the latest version of my paper. I borrowed an example from here, and it works. However, when I try to edit it, I get weird behavior. I tried to just delete all the placeholder text and add my own, as follows:



documentclass[11pt]article 
usepackagepdfpages
usepackagehyperref
usepackagetitling

titleTitle
 authorMe

dateparboxlinewidthcentering
 todayendgrafmedskip
Please click colorbluehref[[link]]here for the latest version of this paper.

usepackagecaption

begindocument

maketitle
enddocument


(I have a real working link in lieu of [[link]]. Removing the href command altogether changes nothing) However, this gives me the following error:



! Argument of reserved@a has an extra }.


What does work, bizarrely enough, is just adding a "1" before "Please":



dateparboxlinewidthcentering
todayendgrafmedskip
1Please click colorbluehref[[link]]here for the latest version of this paper.



This compiles fine, although it gives me an extraneous "1" that I'd rather not have.



Does anyone know where this behavior is coming from?



Thanks!

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
