Hello - basic question here, looking for best practice suggestions.

I have a standard TextPage with a "bodyText" property. What is the recommended way to write the Razor code in my template so it renders the text entered into bodyText box? 

I got it to work by inserting a page field:

@Umbraco.Field("bodyText")

But as I'm doing some reading it seems that is the wrong way to go about it and I should be inserting this script:

@Model.bodyText 

But the above does not render my bodyText property and I get a compilation error:

'Umbraco.Web.Models.RenderModel' does not contain a definition for 'bodyText' and no extension method 'bodyText' accepting a first argument of type 'Umbraco.Web.Models.RenderModel' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Thanks in advance!
