I am new at Rails, I have a number of articles excerpts etc that I want  
to organise in a blog like format. I am nearly finished, but now I want  
to have a list of categories (dynamically created from a MySQL table)  
which I want to link to all articles tagged as that category.

What is the easiest way to create all this dynamically?

Thanks
