622 PointsWhy is it important to link to google fonts after normalize.css but before main.css?? Could it not also go before both?
I would have thought that if the fonts were loaded before both stylesheets it would have been best as it would then be accessible to both. Does that make sense?

That's correct. It could go before both. It's not important that you link it after "normalize" but it is important that you link it before "main.css"
Basically, it wouldn't matter if you put it before or after "normalize". It's not really a benefit to be able to access it within "normalize.css" because it wouldn't be appropriate logic to place a font-family declaration inside normalize.css
Generally you should leave files like normalize unmodified and then override what you need to in your own custom styles.
