 Caveats
 =======
 
-To make the first registered user an admin:
-
-* rails console
-* Check for available users with 'User.all'
-* If your user's ID is [1] then do: "hero = User.find('1')"
-* Give yourself admin status with "hero.role_ids=[3]"
-
 If you have problems with rails console, try this in the Gemfile: 
 
 * gem uninstall rb-readline
