hi guys. It’s not my first time on ruby, i mean, well I did get to page 40 of my 300 page guide book, but that’s not the point =S. thing is, I don’t really know what you gotta do to make a blog out of ruby. I’ve heard RoR but it’s really vague, the way I see it, cz I dun really know much about it nor how it works. And uh, I kinda guess that it isn’t that big of a hassle if I just wanted to post 1 page of text on the internet? Cz I’ve learned that skill when I was 9 or 10. Not to brag, but school teaches that. So anyway, what do I have to do to make my own blog based on ruby? Cz I’m really looking forward to this programming stuff and making 1 helluva cool blhog. 🙂 THANKS! ---

oh hey thanks for the reply. I want to know do I create several different programs on different scripts and then only put them in at the website thing? I’m really lost because I’ve seen the html thing on .blogspot.com and it seems all then scripts of different plug-ins are piled into that one page. If you get what I mean. Anyway you can help guide me at this? On Mon, Feb 22, 2010 at 12:57 PM, shyam mohan ---

Check out the Rails site - there are tutorials/screencasts to do exactly that. ---

Hey there, Making a blog is one of the first things many people learn about when they begin to learn Ruby on Rails. RoR makes it easy and fun to do this kind of stuff, so there really isn’t too much hassle, especially compared to that you may experience with other server-side programming languages. The main difference between what I imagine you did in school regarding websites, and what you’re trying to do here, is that making a blog requires work to be done on the server-side as well as the client side. When you upload a page of text, the web server simply spits out that page to everyone that asks for it. Easy. When you want a blog, however, the server must know how to access the stored blog posts (for which you’ll probably want a database server to compliment your setup), how to store new posts when you want to create them, how to serve up an RSS feed if you have one, and so on. So the server is having to do a lot more then shovelling up a simple web page - it needs to be programmed to handle all these different requests that are made of it. That’s where RoR (and you!) come in. I would highly recommend the Ruby on Rails screencast “Creating a weblog in 15 minutes” at the top of the page of [http://rubyonrails.org/screencasts](http://rubyonrails.org/screencasts). It covers the creation of a blog with some more advanced concepts really well in such a short time. I’d also recommend [http://www.railscasts.com](http://www.railscasts.com) for some great screencasts on RoR - they’re done by the same guy that made the blog screencast. If you have any questions raised by the video or your work on your blog, Google around for answers (there’s many to be found) or ask here and someone will be able to assist you. Have fun! James
