My index.html failed the W3C validator because Google Fonts supplied an unencoded pipe symbol in the HTML Link tag. I was able to get it to pass by replacing the pipe symbol with the HTML code "%7CPT+".

Courses Plus Student 11,484 PointsHi Chris, I had a similar issue when running the HTML validator. The snipet of code from Google Web Fonts failed. However, the site renders exactly as I expected it to, so I'm not sure if it's an issue on the validator's end or Google's.
