title: How: Ruby on Rails to build a basic site
body: <p>I'm a compsci student who wants to get learn a little about web development -- I learn best by doing.  I know basic html/css/php/javascript/xml, but since Ruby is one of my favourite scripting languages, I figured I'd learn Ruby on Rails.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to build a basic website for a friend's club at school that just provides information about their organization and services they offer, and have an admin panel on it that contains a very basic inventory system (item, number in inventory, cost -- that's it) in order to learn Ruby on Rails.  I'll be hosting it on a computer on campus -- so I don't have to worry about hosting.</p>
  
  <p>This might sound a little silly, but as someone who's never built a website themselves, I was wondering how exactly one goes about it with rails -- like, how do I make a basic layout for the main part of the site -- with things like "Home, About Us, Services, Contact, Club Executive" along the top?  Do I have to make it in html and put it in the "view" section?  The tutorials I've read on rails (<a href="http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html" rel="noreferrer">Getting Started With Rails</a>) actually make the basic inventory system seem easy, compared to this part, using a lot of the built in functionality of Rails and scaffolding.  The Rails documentation is a tad bit confusing.</p>
