I have 1 error on the w3c validation service page, apparently with the google font. Help is needed.

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.

Hi Orlando,

It's referring to the vertical bar | in the url. This is considered an unsafe character and should be url encoded.

You can replace all occurrences of it with %7C to get rid of the error.

I found that same error when I went through the tutorial. I validated the project file provided by Treehouse and they had the same error. I wouldn't worry about it because it works and it wasn't an issue with the teachers.

Sure!! Just make sure that once you are done with a question that you mark the best response with something like "best answer" and then your question won't continue to show up in the unanswered forums. :)
