Hi everyone…  
I’m pretty new to rails and trying to climb the steep learning  
curve 🙂  
I understand MVC pretty well by now (I think), but something is  
missing  
to tie it all up.  
Lets say I have a site that contains many controllers (a blog, a  
social  
network with friends for every user, a news box etc.)  
How do I actually create the main page (view?), so it actually uses  
all  
the controllers and their respectful views? Do I create a new view  
with  
no controller/model and access all the other models?  
So far I ahve only seen tutorials that explain a specific controller  
with its own actions.

Obviously I’m missing something big here, so any help would be  
apreciated 🙂

Thanks,  
Ehud
