1,501 PointsHTML 5 glitch testing
I just validated my code and it wasn't validated. Here is what w3 validator says:
Line 7, Column 140: Bad value http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400,400italic,700,700italic for attribute href on element link: Illegal character in query: not a URL code point.
…ga+One|Open+Sans:400,400italic,700,700italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Syntax of URL: Any URL. For example: /hello, #canvas, or http://example.org/. Characters should be represented in NFC and spaces should be escaped as %20.
Line 27, Column 25: Section lacks heading. Consider using h2-h6 elements to add identifying headings to all sections.
<section id="main">
How can I solve this? I've tried but it keeps giving me these glitch.

The vertical bar | that appears in the google fonts url is considered an unsafe character and needs to be url encoded.
You can replace all occurences of it with %7C
You can ignore the warning about "section lacks heading" It's telling you that normally a section would have a heading to describe what that section is. In this case, you don't have one. It's not an absolute requirement.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsYou're welcome. Yes , for google fonts url's you only need to encode the vertical pipe. You'll have to keep doing this unless google updates the code they give where it's already encoded.
Depending on how many fonts you selected you might even have more than 1 vertical pipe so you'll want to make sure you encode all of them.
