the validation service says that there is something wrong with my closing tag for my google fonts code here it is
<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'>

The vertical bar, |, in the google fonts url is considered an unsafe character and should be url encoded.
You can replace all occurrences of it with %7C
If you were getting a different error then let us know what it is.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsDid you replace the vertical bar with
%7Cyet?The error isn't with the closing bracket. I think it just highlights because it's at the end of the line containing the error.
