When submitting code for index.html for validation at http://validator.w3.org/check can anyone tell me where the code to the call to the Google fonts api href link is invalid?
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One| Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Do check out this thread and also search the forum for w3c
