pls help me, im new to RoR…??

You must declare a has_many :categories in the Post model and a
belongs_to :post in the Category model (if the category table has a
post_id column, if not keep reading). If you don’t do that, you need
to create a categories_posts table with two columns: category_id and a
post_id.

You can read the Agile Web D. With Rails (http://
Pragmatic Bookshelf: By Developers, For Developers), is a very good book. It explains step
by step the framework and a very common (but usefull) workflow.
