I suggested before reading the Rails Guide on Routing. I also suggest that you read the Getting Started guide and then the others. Also work through a good tutorial (make sure it is for the version of Rails that you are using). railstutorial.org is a good free to use online tutorial. The reason is that you are missing some fundamental understanding of how Rails works. When you do form_for(@post) and then f.text_field :name rails expects @post to have a method 'name' to get the initial value for display. Often this will come automatically from the fact that the posts table will contain a column 'name'. Since you have no such column it complains that Post has no method 'name'.
