pabcas - Thanks for responding to my question. I really appreciate the help. Changing my partial to use "UserSession.new" seemed to work. The "home" page was able to render properly.
I checked the user_sessions_controller.rb file and I have this method defined. def new @user_session = UserSession.new end Did you mean the home_controller.rb file?
