You are confusing things a lot. Answer this question first: Did you scaffold the model or you are adding the files one by one writing the code by hand.
1. If you did scaffold, I don't see a problem coming anywhere. 2. If you didn't scaffold, then go for Colin's suggestion and read the guides, you will understand how Rails works. AND read the guides rightnow, before you get troubled by another problem. As of the current problem that you are facing, do this: 1. Look up the database table for posts, and see if you have a column named 'name' in there. If not, what went wrong. 2. I am quite sure, 1st would fail. Now, look up your post.rb model file and see if there is attr_accessible : name in your model file.
