exports.newPost = (req, res) ->
  res.render 'add_post', title: "Add a New Post"

Never used coffee script before. But it appears that

title

is passed as a function parameter.

res.render()

's second argument should be an array.

Nevermind, reread the code. But I have never used coffee script so sorry.

In plain JS this would be:

exports.newPost = function(req, res) {
    res.render("add_post", {title: "Add a New Post"});
}

In my app file I have the following and it loads fine,

app.post "blog/posts/new", routes.addPost

exports.addPost = (req, res) ->
  post = req.body.post
  post.id = posts.length
  posts.push post
  res.redirect "/" 

The problem is when I go to

GET /blog/post/new

fill out the form and submit it

POST /blog/post/new

I get:

Cannot POST /blog/posts/new

So what is my mubn mistake?

Thats confusing basically your submitting it

POST /blog/post/new

which is not defined in your routes. notice the lack of an s You defined this:

app.post "blog/posts/new", routes.addPost

But that route has an s on posts

# Routes
app.get "/", routes.index
app.get "blog", routes.index
app.get "blog/posts/new", routes.newPost
app.post "blog/posts/new", routes.addPost
app.get  "blog/:id", routes.viewPost

Apprently all routes must begin with a slash (and moreover, not end with a slash unless it's in the URL so /blog and /blog/ are different routes).

Fix:

# Routes
app.get "/", routes.index
app.get "/blog", routes.index
app.get "/blog/posts/new", routes.newPost
app.post "/blog/posts/new", routes.addPost
app.get  "/blog/:id", routes.viewPost
