How do I use CSS with RoR? When I link externally, I'm never able to see the files. I cp'd the .css file to every folder I could think of...views, controller, template, and nothing seems to work.
What do I need to do to enable external CSS files with a rails application? I'm new to rails, so forgive me if this is basic.

For Rails 3.1+ apps, you should use the asset pipeline. Place stylesheets in app/assets/stylesheets/ if they are specific to your application. You can also put them at vendor/assets/stylesheets/ if they are external (say if they are stylesheets for a javascript plugin.)
CSS Ruby Layout is a module of CSS that provides the rendering model and formatting controls related to the display of ruby annotation. Ruby annotation is a form of interlinear annotation, consisting of short runs of text alongside the base text.
Put the CSS files in public/stylesheets and then use:
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "filename" %> to link to the stylesheet in your layouts or erb files in your views.
Similarly you put images in public/images and javascript files in public/javascripts.
