Starting to feel more confident and code is DRYing up nicely, but I''ve hit a brick wall here and hoping someone can help me. I''ve got a module, TrustRanking, which extends a number of model''s instance methods, and I want to extend their class methods too, but I can seem to work out how to do it.
