I am running through the Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl (Screen Cast). Ran into the and issue in chapter 4 on the title helper.

I have been putting my own twist on the code as I go to make sure I understand it all. However on this one I it is very similar and I am not quite sure why it is acting the way it is.

Here is the code:

Application.html.erb

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <%- Rails.logger.info("Testing: #{yield(:title)}") %>
    <title><%= full_title(yield(:title)) %></title>
    <%= stylesheet_link_tag    "application", :media => "all" %>
    <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
    <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
  </head>
  <body>
    <%= yield %>
  </body>
</html>

Application_helper.rb

module ApplicationHelper
  def full_title(page_title)
    full_title = "Ruby on Rails Tutorial App"
    full_title += " | #{page_title}" unless page_title.blank?
  end
end

Home.html.erb

<h1><%= t(:sample_app) %></h1>
<p>
  This is the home page for the <a href="http://railstutorial.org/">Ruby on Rails Tutorial</a> sample application
</p>

about.html.erb

 <% provide(:title, t(:about_us)) %>
 <h1><%= t(:about_us) %></h1>
 <p>
   The <a href="http://railstutorial.org/">Ruby on Rails Tutorial</a> is a project to make a book and screencast to teach web development with <a href="http://railstutorial.org/">Ruby on Rails</a>. This is the sample application for the tutorial.
 </p>

What Happens: The code works fine when I set the provide method like on the about page. However when I do not it does not seem to even call the helper. I am assuming that because no title is passed back. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Thank you all for your help.
