Hi,
URL: http://pz.icarteam.us
When I run the page on the W3 Validator site, the only error I see is the one stating there is an error in the Google fonts link, and I believe more specifically, they object to the symbol "|" that separates the fonts within the same link. Can this symbol be replaced with another one? Or should I ignore this error?

Actually, I did some digging on the web and found the fix that completely removes this error from the validator: replace the pipe symbol "|" with "%7C". Done, errors no more. I am only left wondering why on Earth is Google still serving the links with validation errors.

Hello,

Actually, you can ignore these errors on the Validator. The important errors are related to the unclosed HTML Tags and Duplicate IDs. These should be fixed promptly, the rest of them will not affect your Website.

Hope this Helps!
