Trying to figure out what the issue is with my fonts. When I go to validator.w3.org to check to see if any errors are present, this message comes up:
Line 7, Column 146: 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. …ne|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css’>
What exactly am I doing wrong?
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css? family=Changa+One%7cOpen+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css’>

I'm not sure what happened here but the code you have posted does not match up with your error.
Your error shows that you have the vertical bar | in your url. However, in the code you have posted you have it replaced with %7C already which is what you need to do to fix the error.
You also have some space between the question mark and family.
So I'm not sure what happened here. You want to remove extra space though and keep %7C in there where the vertical bar was.

Courses Plus Student 157 PointsWhy don't you try and use the @import directly in your stylesheet?
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800);

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsDid you get that first error but then found a solution for the vertical bar and put in the
%7Cbut now you're getting a new error?I tried the code you posted above and I get an "end of file" reached error.
Your very last quote is a slanted quote. Not sure how that happened since you are given this link.
type='text/css’Delete that last single slanted quote and replace with the regular single quote that's to the left of your
