Hey!

I’m a bit new to Rails and I wonder how one render both the new  
controller and the index on the same page.  
For example:

# Guestbook
(new) #post a new entry (index) #showing all posts

I do not want to go to a separate new page.

Thank you for the time!

Okej! I suspected it would be done that way.

Thank you for the time once again!
