Error while validating website

http://treehousewebsite.com/ I have made a similiar website myself while I was talking the "How to make website" course. It's an awesome course but I wonder why is there a validation error on the page if you go http://validator.w3.org/check Please try "see page code" and copy paste it there and see what it says. Thanks, much appreciated.

It's just because the link to the font on Google Fonts includes a | character, which is illegal in html and should be replaced with this |

I should say the character I'm talking about is the vertical bar on the same key as the backslash key.

So instead of this: <link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

You would put this: <link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One&#124;Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

All I've changed is the | between "Changa+One" and "Open+Sans" to &#124;
