Create a field called created_at and/or updated_at and Rails will do
it all automatically. Make sure it''s a datetime (that''s in
postgres,
not sure what the mysql equivalent is).
You can also just make a datetime field called whatever you want, and
do something like:
comment.posted_at = Time.now
and save it yourself..but it''s easier/more railsy to just use the
"magic" fields created_at/updated_at.
