Oh my gosh! How embarrasing! The links were there but since I use reference style, I made an error and made refrence to link 2 for both posts!

When I got to the second blog, I was thinking it was 2 for number 2.. I knew I should have made the contest's link #3 and I was going to too!! Argg.. I missed it because I only made sure my links were correct where I reference them all at the end.

To illustrate this for those who don't know what a reference link is or who might be new to formatting, I'll try to explain below.

There are two versions actually , I use both but this version I'm demonstrating is more precise, faster and allows for reusing the same URL somewhere else in the post. -- also a downfall!

However, it's just as important to cross-check your reference as it is to make sure you have the right links!

Example of proper use:
[Blog title text to link][1] text text text random
[Blog title text to another link][2] text text text some more

At the end of the post I compile all my necessary links and reference them at the bottom of the post:
[1]: 1st blog link url here
[2]: 2nd blog link url here

My mistake here:

[Blog title text to link][2] text text text random
[Blog title text to another link][2] text text text some more

^ In this example, both those links will point to whatever I reference as link 2 at the bottom, but since I have both links properly formatted at the bottom, I did not realise this issue until now!!
