Error with w3 Validator

Everything has been working as I kept up with everything. When I get to validating, I get an error on the font <link>.

Any ideas on what can be the problem?

This was the error: 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.

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

Hi Boris,

You have to url encode the vertical bar, |

Replace it with %7C
