Treehouse Guest TeacherMmmm I wish I could screencap you.
So my app is called "housing". So the main directory is "housing" Imagine each dot is an arrow.
housing
-
app
- assets
- stylesheets
- application.css is where CSS for your whole entire site goes
and then separately
housing
-
app
- assets
- controllers
- helpers
- mailers
- models
- views
- layouts
- application.html.erb is where you can implement HTML for the whole site
So application.html.erb is where I have all the HTML markup for the nav bar on my site and application.css is where I define the colour of my navbar font
You can put html and css in random places elsewhere, but it's best to follow the Rails conventions :)
Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.
