So in the validator check, I put in my html code and it gives me 1 error. The error is in my font link. It says, "Bad value..." and "illegal character in query: not a URL code point." Has anyone else had this problem? I'm pretty sure it's correct as I copied and pasted directly from Google fonts. I've tried it multiple times just to be sure it's correct and it is. Can someone help?

Replace it with %7C

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsYou're welcome. I'm not sure why google gives the urls like that and doesn't just put in the %7C for you but as long as they're doing that you'll have to replace yourself if you want to get rid of the error. I've seen some links that have more than one vertical bar so you'll want to make sure you've replaced them all.
