but then I tried making another app, which was created but gave me a
message stating that server is already running and then it exited.
Therefore, my locahost wasn’t working anymrore.
Then I did some fooling around and I think I just made it worse!!
here is where I am at now:

That means you are trying to create a new rails app in the folder
blog, but there is already a rails app in that folder. If you want to
throw it away and start again then delete the blog folder before doing
rails new, otherwise use a name other than blog for your new one.
~$ which gem
/usr/bin/gem
The fact that ruby is being picked up from the system location (rather
than .rvm) means that you are not actually using rvm.
If you have not already done so then I suggest you work right through
a good tutorial such as railstutorial.org (which is free to use
online). That will show you the basics of rails.
Your problem with the server already running may mean that you ran
rails s
but have not shut down the server (Ctrl+C in the server window) before
trying to start another one.

I think you might be running an earlier version of rails where the
command is ‘rails project’. I am still working on a 2.3 system and what
you see looks a lot like a 2.3 system. Try ‘rails -v’ to see the
version.
