 This is the code-along example to work through and build during class.  It demonstrates creating a model, collection, views, and a router.  All the code is in scripts.js.

 Components:

 * A Post model for blog posts
 * A Posts collection to hold all the blog posts
 * Views for home and post view
 * A basic object to hold the template strings
 * PostListView subview with a click event
 * The application router
