Courses Plus Student 1,058 PointsNeed help fixing some errors
I went to the w3 validation website and ended up with a bunch of errors. I'm having trouble fixing some of them so I would be very appreciative if I could get some help from someone with more experience. I'll post my code at the bottom and the website I went to do the validation. Thanks!
validation website: http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input
my index.html code:

Courses Plus Student 2,360 PointsHi christian,
Just looked at the code and most of your errors are due to the fact that you have not placed " equal sign " in alt tag;
You have written like this:
alt "" and this alt:" "
where as it should be
Infact now i look at it again and i find every error is related to that only.
Correct that and you will be good to go..
Cheers..:)..

Courses Plus Student 1,058 PointsThanks! Thats an easy fix. I'm a little more stumped on the 1st error that showed up when I did the validation. It had something to do with the google fonts I was using.

Christian Herron
Courses Plus Student 1,058 Pointsoh ok, I'll try that. Thanks!

Courses Plus Student 1,058 PointsSorry it was a mess, I actually have it spaced out nice on my computer but when I added the ``` everything went together. Not sure how you posted like that but thanks again!

20,160 PointsChristian, I may be missing something here, but I don't see any code. All I see is a doctype which is used at the beginning of an html file but I don't see any html.
Christian Herron
Courses Plus Student 1,058 PointsI tried to put my code in but when I save, it just shows that.

Courses Plus Student 1,058 PointsFixing the alt= solved all the problems I had except the first one about the google font used. Anyone have an idea what that might be?
