Font not changing

I really don't know what went wrong, but somewhere in my code there's an issue.

The index.html

''' <link rel = "stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css"> <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:900,400,700italic,700|Open+Sans:400,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> <link rel = "stylesheet" href="css/main.css"> '''

The main.css ''' /********** GENERAL **********/

wrapper {

max-width:940px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 5%; }

/********** LOGO **********/

/* site body*/ body { background-color: #fff; }

/* page-wide white text color*/ a, nav a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: white; }

logo {

text-align: center; margin: 0; color: #60CC4D; }

h1 { font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; }

/********** HEADER **********/

/* bright green header*/ header { background: #60CC4D; }

/* Jake Guss, designer*/ h1, h2 { color: #fff; }

/* green navigation bar*/ nav { background: #5CB24C; }

/* orange text color when selected*/ nav a.selected, nav a:hover { color: #FF7523; }

footer { background: #5CB24C; color: white } '''

Your blockquoting isn't quite right (did you remember to skip a blank line before the first triple-backtick line?). An even better way to share code is to make a snapshot of the workspace and provide the link to it.

While you're fixing that, would you elaborate a bit about what the "issue" is that you are experiencing?

The header logo's h1 (Jake Guss) is supposed to be roboto font, but for some reason isn't.

'''h1 { font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; } '''

Also, for some reason I'm having trouble understanding the syntaxing for html markdown. I feel like an idiot.
