You have an error in you code here:

<link href="<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>"

Your CSS is good. But in your HTML you added this:

     <link href="<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>"

It looks like you have some extra tag parts there. I think you meant to put this:

     <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

I'm not sure how this slipped by until task 3, but fixing this should take care of it.
