I haven't completed it yet, but I am using teamtreehouse as a refresher while job hunting. The front-end course here seems like a really well rounded experience, hopefully enough to land you your first job!

For this exercise you need to go to www.google.com/fonts and choose a font you'd like to use. Once you do, click Add to Collection and then Use. Once you've done that you can scroll down and they will give you the HTML and CSS necessary to add it to your page. The first question is just asking for the HTML, the second part is assigning it to an h1 element with your CSS.
