Thank you. I am new and sorry for asking complicated questions, without reading.
I copied the code you suggested in application.html.erb file in view/layouts dir in my project. When I start the server and say http:localhost/3000 it shows default ruby welcome page. - How to I display contents of application.html.erb file. - Also what is yield(:head} and yield(:title) When I was looking at other exmaples, they all create a model and then change the model.html.erb file to display as default view. But for my welcome page I don't have a model or a controller? So how to invoke the application.html.erb file Alpha Blue wrote: > You are going to have to start simple and understand the mechanics of > rails before you continue any further. > > Your first item of the day should be learning more about rails: > > http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ > > As for your question about how layouts work with rails...
