My First Real-World Rails Project, Part II

Continuing my series on my first real-world rails project, I’ve made some great advancements.

Using attachment_fu, following Mike Clark’s Tutorial for Uploading / Resizing images in Ruby on Rails, and Rmagick with ImageMagick, I was able to add Categories functionality with featured images.

I also used lightbox and Coda Slider for Admin & Home presentations, respectively.

Enjoy!
