As you know, when you create a RoR application, you will have pages that need some design and added to more beauty. I just want to ask. Should I do HTML and CSS work here? Or, are there RoR templates out there that I can embed in my application? Thanks. ---

Maybe more accurately to say, “Stylesheets” for Rails applications. Or, it is just a matter of adding .css that’s all. But, you know, someone creating a RoR application, want the RoR touch on it! ---

It generates the stylesheets and layouts, styles a lot of the standard classes and gives an amended form builder. > Do you have an example of that? I’ve been meaning to put together a screencast sometime on it, but to be honest, it’s very simple - just following the README should get you up and running. I won’t get chance to do a screencast today, but I’ll try to do it this week if I get a chance. Cheers, Andy ---

Thanks Andy. I’ll try it out. And, please keep me informed of the screencast. ---

Does it give you the layouts to the pages? Do you have an example of that? Sounds interesting. ---
