Hi Luis,

When I run it through the w3c validation service. I get 2 errors.

One is that you have a typo on your <title> You have it as <titel> This is for both the opening and closing tag.

The other thing is that it is complaining about the vertical pipe character | that appears in the google fonts url. This is an illegal character for urls and should be url encoded.

If you replace that vertical pipe with %7C then it will fix that error.

The other thing is a warning about not having a heading for your section. This was not used for this course and it's only a warning so you can safely ignore that.

thanks for the help! was stuck there for a while
