[http://weblog.techno-weenie.net/articles/acts\_as\_attachment](http://weblog.techno-weenie.net/articles/acts_as_attachment) is an  
excellent introduction, but I am a newbie and need the next step  
outlined for me:

How would I implement a controller/view (form) for the model that the  
attachments model belongs to? (The content items that have pictures  
attached)

Or should I just make the content item model acts\_as\_attachment instead  
?

Does anyone know of a tutorial that has this explained, or could explain  
it to me?

Thanks,
