I am going through the README example and trying to get the templates to render on the index page.

However, I do not see any Backbone rendered views. I see the default Rails scaffolding but not the Backbone views. I am using Rails 3.1.1 and Backbone-rails 0.5.4.

```
~/code/blog $ rails -v
Rails 3.1.1
~/code/blog $ bundle list | grep backbone
* rails-backbone (0.5.4)
```

Is there another painfully obvious step that I am missing? I apologize for the noobness of this issue. I have looked at the generated coffeescript source, looked in Firebug for JS errors, and sacrificed a live chicken, but still haven't had any luck.

I've also tried the example from this screencast: http://vimeo.com/30705694 and get the same (lack of) results.

```
rails new blog
cd blog
Edit Gemfile:
gem "rails-backbone", "~> 0.5.4"
bundle install
Using rails-backbone (0.5.4)
rails g scaffold Post title:string content:string
rake db:migrate
rails g backbone:scaffold Post title:string content:string
Edit app/views/posts/index.html.erb:

rails s
Open localhost:3000
```
