The Microposts controller itself appears in schematic form Listing 2.8. Note that, apart from having MicropostsController in place of UsersController, Listing 2.8 is identical to the code in Listing 2.3. This is a reflection of the REST architecture common to both resources.

To make some actual microposts, we enter information at the new microposts page, /microposts/new, as seen in Figure 2.12.

At this point, go ahead and create a micropost or two, taking care to make sure that at least one has a user_id of 1 to match the id of the first user created in Section 2.2.1. The result should look something like Figure 2.13.
