Could you bottom post rather than top? That is the convention on this list, it makes it easier to follow threads. Do they go on to extend this code to cope with save failures later on in the tutorial? If you just want to get past this for the moment have a close look at any validations in the User model, possibly comment them out for the moment. Also have a look at the log (log/development.log) to see what values were passed as params in the POST. This may be a good time to have a look at ruby-debug (see http://railscasts.com/episodes/54-debugging-with-ruby-debug). You could put a break point after @user = User.new(params[:user]) and check that it looks ok.
