I'm not sure if my logic above makes sense but I'll try to spell it out. I added an ```:id``` attr_accesible since it's unique to every story in the espn api. 

```
def self.find_by_id
if current_post.id.exists is false
PostNewStory
end
```
the idea is that if the current_post **does not** exist, that means it's not posted yet. So then it should be posted. Follow? i feel like I haven't had much issue wrapping my mind around what needs to be done but the execution, the actual code writing part mind you, is still difficult. 

As always thanks!
