Rails 3: My view is not being rendered

I'm new to rails. I have my controller and view setup.

When I view my html source, my body is empty. I put a debugger in my controller and my view and it hits both so I know it's being executed. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I have also installed bootstrap.

Thank you in advance. see below.

class ListController < ApplicationController
  def recent
    @page_title = @head_title="Lists"
  end
end

recent.html.erb

    <ul class="tabs">
  <li class="active"><a href="#">Lorem</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Ipsum</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Dolor</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Sit</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Amet</a></li>
</ul>

application.html.erb

    <meta name="description" content="">
    <meta name="author" content="">
    <%= stylesheet_link_tag    "application", :media => "all" %>
    <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
    <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
    <%= yield(:head) %>
  </head>

</html>

Um, you don't have a <body> tag or any view contents in your application.html.erb file? :-)

Try adding this just befor your </html>:

<body>
  <%= yield %>
</body>

That yield with no argument will grab the content from the rendered view and spit it into your application layout.
