what is wrong with this code

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Nick Pettit | Designer</title>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
 <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans" rel="stylesheet"> 
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">

</head> <body> <header> h1 {font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;}

  <a href="index.html" id="logo">
    <h1 >Nick Pettit</h1>
    <h2>Designer</h2>
  </a>

I am supposed to add the font I chose from google into the html page in css and change the h1 tag to the new font. I cannot figure out why It will not work.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
