add a FactoryGirl factory for a user that can be used in the user specs, add a show method and corresponding view for the User model and add it as a resource to the routes file, add some css to style the views that will be used for the User model, add a helper for the User model that allows easy access to a specific users gravatar (the image displayed next to their name on their profile, I still dont fully comprehend how that component of this app works) - finished section 7.1 of the rails tutorial book, this commit represents the state of the app just before proceeding onto section 7.2 (Signup form)
create a form that is used to create a new user and add the relevant actions to the Users Controller, add some css and a partial to display the reasons that an attempt to create a user would fail (due to validations that exist in the User model) - this commit marks the end of section 7.4.1 in the rails tutorial book. at the time of this commit, the app should be in the same state that it would be if you were to start working on section 7.4.2 (The flash)
Finish user signup (end of section 7, getting ready to start exercises)
