Hi, all,

I’m learning rails, and I’ve started blogging about the site I’m  
building. I had some initial troubles, but I’ve got the first story  
up. It is pretty long and very rambling, but, if anyone wants to have  
a stab at helping any misconceptions I may have, here’s the url’s:

I’d appreciate any thoughts, especially on the problems I’m having  
getting the rspec(\_on\_rails) plugins installed:

My install of dasBlog is flaky on the webhost4life servers, so you  
might get an exception when you go to the link. Generally, hitting  
refresh will solve it.

Thanks.  
-Corey

Hey Corey - you should join the rspec-users mailing list. There are a  
lot of ppl there who can help w/ this sort of stuff.
