i don't know how to pass the Challenge.

Bummer! Make sure you include your Google Web Font before css/main.css.

/**** html ****/

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

/**** css ****/

h1 { font-family: 'Changa One', sans-serif; } body { font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; }

i don't know what going wrong

Hi there, I am not sure what is the task specifically asking you but you use Google web fonts on your website for better typography. The way you can use them is as follow 

 <!Doctype html>
  <html lang="en"
  <head><title>My Website</title>
   <!-- Importing Google Webfont called ubuntu -->
  <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu+Mono:400,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
   </head>

Once that in place i can now use it in my css file as 

  body {
     font-family: 'Ubuntu Mono', sans-serif;
    }

Hope that helps. Cheers Ali

I think you are confused. They are asking for the link that you get from google fonts and it should be pasted into your index.html between normalize.css and main.css. If you are still in your css file you will need to click the tab for your html. It should be the index.html tab next to main.css tab in the workspace. Hope that helps!

Hi, sometimes, a comment that is given when you do something wrong, just doesn't make sense. And sometimes comment is confusing and useless. What works in real world is @import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One); at the beginning of your css, in first line. Maybe this will help.
