10,418 PointsFirstly, you would want to add the link to the web-font before you link to any css files. Like so:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
Then , in your css you need to apply the font:
h1 {
font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif;
}
You will notice here that there are no quotation marks and that the semi-colon ( ; ) isn't placed after the curly bracket ( } ).
The fall-back is placed after the font that you want. The fall-back font loads if there is a problem loading your first choice.
Hope this helps!
