Working my way through the Discover Meteor book. The code form chapters on creating postItem templates that include a link to specific posts just doesn't 'work' (no errors, but no result either).
See linked gists for code I'm using [1]. There are no errors in the console. I've also read up about changes introduced in Meteor 0.8 with Blaze and I suspect that this is causing the problem, however, the documentation seems to suggest template helper usage in my case is the same[2] and I can see from looking at various meteor created scripts such as router.js that older templating systems are at least attempted to be supported [3].
Why doesn't this code work? And is there a way to make only slight changes to get it working rather than moving over to iron-router and potentially departing too far from the edition of Discover Meteor that I'm using?

[2] http://meteorpedia.com/read/Blaze_Notes#Template Helpers [Note: space before 'Helpers' in this link breaks it] This appears to be more about block helpers than the way I'm using helpers, but seems to be the extent of any discussion on helper usage so I assumed everything else remained unchanged.
