How to get flash errors to display in edge?

Rails

Hi

I have the following action, that generates a flash message if a blog is
created,

how can I get this message to display in my views?

thanks

# POST /blogs
# POST /blogs.xml
def create
    @blog = Blog.new(params[:blog])

    respond_to do |format|
        if @blog.save
            flash[:notice] = 'Blog was successfully created.'
            format.html { redirect_to blog_url(@blog) }
            format.xml  { head :created, :location =>

blog_url(@blog) }
else
format.html { render :action => “new” }
format.xml { render :xml => @blog.errors.to_xml }
end
end
end

I understand that that should pass teh flash hash to the page view,
however when I do somthing like this, nothing is displayed.

If the <%if flash-%> part is removed, an error is shown on most pages
due to a nil object.

any suggestions?

<%if flash-%>
<%if flash[:notice] || flash[:alert] -%>


<%= flash[:notice] || flash[:alert] %>


<% end -%>
<%end-%>
