Hey Eviano,

You just need to move you Google font link up.

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit | Designer</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
   <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400,400italic,700,700italic,800,800italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">    
  </head>

Hope this helps.
