How come when I try to render something in the application, it doesn't show up?

I have this in my layouts folder, filename application.html.erb

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
      <title>One Month Rails</title>
      <%= stylesheet_link_tag    "application", :media => "all" %>
      <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
      <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
    </head>
    <body>
        <% render 'layouts/header' %>

        <%= yield %>

        <% render 'layouts/footer' %>

    </body>
</html>

I have this in my layouts folder, filename _header.html.erb

<%= link_to "Home", root_path %>
<%= link_to "About", about_path %>

After I save the code and refresh the page, the changes doesn't take place

You are trying to create a partial, thus you must rename to _header.html.erb and change the .erb to <%= render 'layouts/header' %>

Please read the documentation about Using Partials in rails docs.

It looks like you need at least the following files:

/app/views/layouts/_header.html.erb
/app/views/layouts/_footer.html.erb

I assume you have the proper routes for root_path and about_path.
