Hi Will, welcome to Treehouse. The Rails framework operates based largely on convention rather than configuration. What I mean by this is that Rails uses strict naming conventions. For example, a class name like YoPage would be associated with the table yo_pages. Rails automatically "knows" and uses this convention. You can actually see these conventions by calling up the Rails console with rails c and typing "YoPage".pluralize. It returns, "YoPages". Models use a style called "snakecase. This looks like yo_pages. So, my suggestion would be to make sure that you're following the Rails naming convention in your migration, given your class YoPages. Hope that helps!
