Emberjs.com website beginner Tutorial

I will start by saying I am new to Ember. I am starting to wrap my mind around the concepts but I haven't been able to make it work...

I tried following the basic tutorial on the emberjs.com website:

As far as I can tell I have everything installed/updated properly, and I understand what is supposed to happen...but when I run the server via the "ember server" command my templates do not load. The index.html page is being picked up, but anything I put in my templates (including the application.hbs) is missing.

Any ideas?? I really want to get into Ember, but I can't get past page one of any tutorial I try because of this issue. Please help! :)
