Check for the owner of the post on the edit action?

Exactly, if you have an user on my website an post anything, you will
edit or destroy only your posts.

I think that Leonardo meant that in the edit and destroy actions you
should test that the current user is the owner of the post and not
allow the action to proceed if not the owner.

Aaahm… I think yes. I don’t know another way to make it :S (I’m a
little bit novice. I know a little bit Ruby but I get into mess with
some things). I have thought to make a function current_user probing the
user by name and make an if sentence : if post.name == current_user{
edit, destroy }
For example, but I dont know how to make it exactly… :S (I hear bells
but i dont know where)

You need to be reasonably proficient in the use of Ruby to use RoR so
I would suggest first googling for some Ruby primers and work through
those. Then (or at the same time if you get bored) work through some
of the online Rails Guides (google for Rails Guides), particularly
Getting Started, ActiveRecord Relationships and Debugging.
Another excellent way of learning is to watch this list and any time
you understand the question then follow the thread and try to
understand the answer. In no time you will find yourself answering
questions yourself. You will make a fool of yourself on occasions (at
least I did, and still do) but do not worry about that.
