    Okay, so guys, the next step on the agenda is to actually make sure that we can view 0:00
    the user's username who actually posted the post and view when it was created. 0:03
    And we're also going to be adding a like button. 0:06
    So let's go ahead and do that. 0:08
    Okay, so the first thing that I want to do is create a navbar for simpler navigation. 0:10
    So go to App Views layouts and inside of here we already have a navbar, but 0:13
    I'm just going to make it a little bit better. 0:17
    So let's go ahead and wrap it in a div and then let's create another link. 0:19
    So just here we're going to say link_to. 0:23
    And then we're gonna do home and then inside here we'll just do root_pass. 0:26
    That should be good. 0:31
    So now we've got that. 0:32
    And then we're just going to also bump up the size of these actual links themselves. 0:33
    So we're gonna go and wrap them all in a h2. 0:37
    So you want your h2 here and your h2 at the end of all the links, then that's it. 0:40
    So now that we've done that, we've kind of got some better navigation going and so 0:45
    if we go to the posts, we're actually going to make it for that when we sign in. 0:48
    So I'm just gonna sign in right now. 0:51
    So sign in with one, two, three, four, five, six login and 0:53
    then I want to make a edit user registration link. 0:56
    So let's go ahead and do that. 0:58
    So go to VS code and then we're going to create a new link and when we're logged 1:00
    in, we're going to create a new link and we're gonna say edit, Edit user. 1:03
    And so inside of here we're just gonna say the path, we're gonna change it. 1:07
    We're gonna do edit_user_registration_path. 1:11
    Now how do I know that that's the place we want to go to? 1:15
    Well, it's because when we go to the terminal, if I stop the server and 1:18
    then clear and then run rails routes in here, 1:22
    if we actually look at these routes that are available to us, as you can see, 1:24
    there's one called device edit_user_registration. 1:29
    Edit_user_registration down here. 1:32
    And it's a get request. 1:34
    And so that's how I know that that's the one we need to go to. 1:35
    Let's go back to VS code. 1:38
    And then where it says Edit user, we're just gonna do. 1:39
    We're gonna get rid of this data Turbo method delete. 1:41
    We don't need that on this one. 1:43
    And instead of edit user, we're actually gonna change it to account and 1:45
    that should be good. 1:48
    If we refresh now, I just need to restart the server, so run Rails S and 1:49
    then you go back to the browser. 1:53
    And as you can see now, if we go to account, yeah, 1:55
    we're actually able to see our account and we can change our details if we want to. 1:58
