 Here's what's going on: every Rails model can be initialized with its
 respective attributes, which are automatically mapped to the respective
 database columns. In the first line we do just that (remember that
-`post_params` contains the attributes we're interested in). Then,
+`params[:post]` contains the attributes we're interested in). Then,
 `@post.save` is responsible for saving the model in the database.
 Finally, we redirect the user to the `show` action,
 which we'll define later.
 
-TIP: Note that `def post_params` is private. This new approach prevents an
-attacker from setting the model's attributes by manipulating the hash passed
-to the model. For more information, refer to [this blog post about Strong Parameters](http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2012/3/21/strong-parameters/).

 TIP: As we'll see later, `@post.save` returns a boolean indicating
 whether the model was saved or not.
