Adding the "Cell" identifier to the Storyboard Viewcontroller

Amit is using an older version of Xcode. In version 5.1.1, I don't see an "Identifier" field in the Attributes Inspector.

It is there, since I can see it and I'm in 5.1.1 too. Make sure you have the cell selected, then open the Attributes inspector (fourth icon over in the sidebar), and it should be the second field after the Table View Cell header.

...my screenshot is from the Diary app, since I haven't done the Blog Reader course yet, but the same concepts still apply.

Thanks Ben,

Okay yes before I only had the Screen View highlighted, not the individual cell. Thanks for the tip. I have to say, I find Amit's videos unclear and frustrating to follow.

Sorry to hear you are having trouble. I like Amit's videos way better than Ash Furrow's videos (iOS Diary app), because Amit generally is slow and the videos generally highlight where you are supposed to click. Ash's videos seem a bit rushed, and I'm constantly having to pause and rewind to catch everything. I'm sure it gets easier with practice though, and an understanding of Xcode and common actions.
