Sitecore: Field property is required. All field web controls require the field name to be set.

SOLUTION:

1. My recommendation is to use the Fieldrender if possible. There are many types supported, even Images.
See the list of supported types here:

2. If you use the sc:Text control, be careful with the Attribute for the Field Name!! They look different and are not equal. Sadly the "Enclosing Tag" or the"CssClass" Attribute are not available in important SC Controls. That makes life harder and need to set via code behind or with just HTML.   

Use Attribute "Field" for the sc:Text Control to set the Fieldname from the Sitecore Backend!
<sc:Text ID="scText" Field="Description" runat="server" />

    First off I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask
    if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
    I have had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.

    I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the
    first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints?
    Thank you!
