+<p>Welcome to embrails, the first ever live blog for developing a Ruby on Rails backed ember.js application. Throughout the next few months we will be working on taking a vanilla rails 5.0 install to a full blown ember.js blogging platform, and you will be part of the journey.</p>
+
+<h2>Creating the rails app</h2>
+
+<pre>
+$ rails new embrails --database=postgresql
+$ cd embrails
+$ git init
+$ git remote add origin https://github.com/bwittenbrook3/embrails.git
+$ git add .
+$ git commit -m "Initial Commit"
+</pre>
+
+<p>Great now we have a vanilla rails 5.0 application, and have it version controlled on github! Firing up rails with rails s give us the default welcome page.</p>
