Regardless of what I type or paste into the editor for font, the preview font never changes. Even when using the default font that the exercise starts with, "Open Sans," the font displayed is a serif font, not sans serif. That same serif font never changes, regardless of what is typed. Here is the code.
HTML
<head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Link's Page</title> <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans' rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet"> </head>
CSS
body { max-width: 600px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 20px 20px; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.6em; font-family: font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; color: #777; font-weight: 300; }
Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

Courses Plus Student 1,117 PointsThanks Shawn! That did it. Oi vei. It's always the most obvious stuff (comma instead of a semi-colon, etc.). Thank you! (Also, is there no way to reply to a comment? Only post another comment to the original post?)
