Courses Plus Student 1,873 Points(How to make a website) Stage 8 Responsive Web Design and Testing
I keep getting an error on line 7 when testing on Validator.W3.org direct input.
Here is my line 7 copied from Nick Pettit on the video:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css? family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Here is the error that Validator.w3.org refers to:
Line 7, Column 155: Bad value http://fonts.googleapis.com/css? family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800 for attribute href on element link: Illegal character in query: not a URL code point.
Need help to get pass the web testing!

If you have a pipe | in the URL, this can cause an error. Change the | for %7c For example my URL read .....800|Changa+one... Change this to read ....800%7cChanga+one.... and you should be good. Don't be concerned with the minor warnings after this is resolved.
Hope this helps :)
