Installed Datatables! Got it all working with Bootstrap after having to rearrange the order of the 'reguires' statements in application.js

Changed routes back to 4.1 syntax - then back to Hartl's. Both work now. Experimented with 'as:' syntax but about_url broke the link.
Changed link_to to use "*_path"
Installed Bootstrap gem (Lesson 3)
Tried to get the NavBar working but it's only using 1/3 of the screen....

8/27 
Changed application layout to use link_to instead of hard coding about/contact page hrefs
Changed default order of routes and syntax to match Hartl's so new link_to's would work 
	(sometimes after a few clicks it would freak out)
