<%=  link_to "Stephen Weber", "home.html" %>

It depends on the type of view renderer engine you are using, if you are using Haml-rails then syntax is slightly different, remember that Haml views are indentation based just like python :

= link_to "Stephen Weber", "Home.html", {class: 'any_class_name', id: 'try_to_use_unique', style: 'margin:'''}

If you are using erb, then syntax is:

 <%= link_to "Stephen Weber", "Home.html", {class: 'any_class_name', id: 'try_to_use_unique', style: 'margin:'''} %>

You have missed = in 

<% link_to "Stephen Weber", "home.html" %>

It should be

<%= link_to "Stephen Weber", "home.html" %>

For more details on Rails ERB format, go to Why many people use "-%>" instead of "%>" in Rails?
