+Rails has several security features that help you write secure applications,
+and you're running into one of them now. This one is called
+'strong_parameters,' which requires us to tell Rails exactly which parameters
+we want to accept in our controllers. In this case, we want to allow the
+'title' and 'text' parameters, so change your `create` controller action to

+```
+ def create
+ @post = Post.new(params[:post].permit(:title, :text))

+ @post.save
+ redirect_to action: :show, id: @post.id
+ end

+See the `permit`? It allows us to accept both `title` and `text` in this
+action. With this change, you should finally be able to create new `Post`s.
