602 PointsI'm getting a validation error
this is the code that has the issue:
<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css? family=Cinzel: 400 700|Exo: 400 600 600 italic 400 italic 800 800 italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
I'm thinking it has to do with hypertext but I'm cluessless as to how I should/can amend this issue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Try changing the pipe symbol (|) to %7C in the Google Fonts link. Does this sort the validation problem?

5,449 PointsAssuming it's with HTML validate here: https://validator.w3.org/ It will give you a clue where the problem is such as line 34 column 10 for example.
If your text editor does not number the lines you can check out notepad++ or brackets, they are both free.
Things to consider that can cause a problem is, unclosed tags, using symbols instead of character codes, etc.
