Thanks for trying to help! sorry I'm not smart enough to figure it out still haha, maybe after the giveaways have ended you could explain the first one to me? That'd be much appreciated!

Well... here's what I'll do to help you. :)
One, if you look at a giveaway link... they are formatted like this
http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/XXXXX/game-name-follows-here
But they work just as easily if you do this
http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/XXXXX/
Or even...
http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/XXXXX/whatever_i_want_to_write-after-that-slash

Aside from that... only other way I can help at the moment is to suggest you read that guide.... and maybe read the solutions of these

stares blankly :) thanks again for trying to help me but I'm far too dumb for that :) I tried putting 2SvSv as XXXXX but no luck. I dunno what the ^ means I thought maybe shift but that didn't work either. :) puzzles aren't for me haha. It's okay though ;) thank you for trying to help a newbie :)

It's easy to make a mistake when you're first doing this. and one small mistake can make you frustrated and give up. It takes a bit of perserverance and the community isn't that great at helping new puzzlers.

Zelgh is the best, he wrote that huge guide and so many people whitelisted him for it. :D

I tried to make a puzzle :)

I hope you enjoy it, I hope I've done okay and it's enjoyable :)

THanks again for being helpful and friendly, you made me motivated to make my own haha but I'm not very good at puzzles so I make it with programming which I am good at I don't know how other people will receive it, hopefully you enjoy it :)

The ^'s meant nothing in THIS case... they just broke up the characters so you'd have to do some editing to make it work. :D
Not just copy/paste :D

Oh, and one more thing; it's just a puzzle courtesy :)
Could you remove the part about the obligatory GA in this comment :)
It's meant to be slightly hidden for a reason. Helps prevent bots from finding and joining GAs meant for people who interact and communicate like you :)

No worries, you seem new, hence I figured it was just a not knowing sort of thing. We all are at some point :D
I very much appreciate it :D
