Ok, so I'm challenging myself to actually learn ruby/rails, I'm currently doing the 12 on 12 challenge by mackenzie childs, i'm doing the Muze app. I'm trying to add a comment section to the post section of the site but when i try to pull up a post, i'm getting:

Haml::SyntaxError in Posts#show Extracted source (around line #10):

you can review the code below (i've marked it) line 10 is ".comment", what is going on, whats wrong with that code? Please Help!!!!

= image_tag @post.image.url(:medium) %h1= @post.title %p= @post.description %p= @post.user.name

#comment     %h2.comment_count= pluralize(@post.comments.count, "Comment")     - @comments.each do |comment| (This is line 10) .comment        %p.username= comment.user.name        %p.username= comment.content

     = render 'comments/form'

= link_to "Edit", edit_post_path(@post) = link_to "Destroy", post_path(@post), method: :delete, data: [confirm: "Are you sure?"] = link_to "home", root_path

Since haml uses indentation to denote blocks etc it is very sensitive to indentation errors. I can't see if that's the cause of your problem though since your annotation has changed the indentation. There should also be more to the error message.

Try this… %h2.comment_count= pluralize(@post.comments.count, “Comment”)

- @comments.each do |comment|

      .comment

      %p.username= [comment.user.name](http://comment.user.name)
      %p.username= comment.content

 = render 'comments/form'

.comment seems to be a class selector move it to the correct place as well as your %p tags
