RE: \\ My Entry for | Pay-it-Forward-Community Curation Contest | Week 73 //
The link for your second blogger is wrong. You repeated the link for the first blogger.
This is the post I upvoted. Pretty sure that it's correct, let me know if it wasn't:

Thank you for your entry. Both of your bloggers have been upvoted and your entry for Curation Contest:Week 73 is confirmed.
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 moreAt 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 hereMy 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!!
Correct by the way, I've also corrected the post.
Thanks for sharing how you do it. Always useful to give tips like this.
Oh and don't feel embarrassed about the error...it happens to all of us sooner or later.
