You look to be missing a closing bracket on this line:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial scale=1.0"
Can you add that and retry the validation please?
Thanks
-Rich
EDIT: Following your additional code you look to be missing the question mark (?) between css and family so:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css family=Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,800italic,700,800,400' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
would become:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,800italic,700,800,400' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
