      # This is just an alias to the a method

      #   <%= link_to("http://www.mackframework.com") %> # => <a href="http://www.mackframework.com">http://www.mackframework.com</a>
      #   <%= link_to("Mack", "http://www.mackframework.com") %> # => <a href="http://www.mackframework.com">Mack</a>
      #   <%= link_to("Mack", "http://www.mackframework.com", :target => "_blank") %> # => <a href="http://www.mackframework.com" target="_blank">Mack</a>
      #   <%= link_to("Mack", "http://www.mackframework.com", :target => "_blank", :rel => :nofollow) %> # => <a href="http://www.mackframework.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Mack</a>
      # If you pass in :method as an option it will be a JavaScript form that will post to the specified link with the 
      # methd specified.
      #   <%= link_to("Mack", "http://www.mackframework.com", :method => :delete) %>
      # If you use the :method option you can also pass in a :confirm option. The :confirm option will generate a 
      # javascript confirmation window. If 'OK' is selected the the form will submit. If 'cancel' is selected, then
      # nothing will happen. This is extremely useful for 'delete' type of links.
