Hi! I have used the fonts from google font as described in video: copied it exactly the way it was on google.com/fonts and placed the link between the normalize.css and main.css. However the html validator detected an error:
Bad value https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400,400i,700,700i,800 for attribute href on element link: Illegal character in query: | is not allowed.
From line 7, column 5; to line 7, column 117
css">ā© <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400,400i,700,700i,800" rel="stylesheet">ā©
How can I correct it if I should at all?
Thank you

3,978 Pointswhat i had to do was break it up into two different links cause i got the same problem. so instead of:
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400,400i,700,700i,800" rel="stylesheet">
do this: <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One" rel="stylesheet"> <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,400i,700,700i,800" rel="stylesheet">
and that fixed the problem for me hope that helps.
