I noticed you have the font link after one of your CSS stylesheets in the index.html file. You should always put it before any CSS stylesheets. Also, later in the course you might run into an error. You might want to change the | in the font link with its percent encoding %7C.

This will work for the first challenge:

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit | Designer</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://font.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One%7COpen+Sans:400,400italic,700,700italic,800">    
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
</head>

For the second challenge, they want you to split up the h1 and h2 tags in the CSS file. They also want you to add a fonts to your h1 tag. Such as:

h1 {
  font-family: 'Changa one', sans-serif;
}

h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

For the third challenge, this should work:

h1 {
  font-family: 'Changa one', sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}
