to answer this, i'd need to see the entire page, not just a 
snippet...

the gist of the error is this... if you have a link to 'foo' and the 
text you link is 'bar', you cannot link to 'zim' with the text 
'bar'...

so if you have this:
	<a href="foo">bar</a>

you can't have this:
	<a href="zim">bar</a>

every time you use the link text 'bar', it should point to the same 
address, not a different page... users without the ability to see 
where a link will take them may assume both links go the same page, 
which isn't the case...

the error would be thrown on the line where you use a different 
address for text you've already used...
