 This stage of implementation is dependent on what environment you will be deploying to. We currently have 3 methods that we're testing, with Heroku and dedicated hosting being operational.
 
+#### Preparing for production
+RAILS_ENV=production rake secret - this will create a secret_key that you can add to config/secrets.yml . You can copy/paste this into config/secrets.yml for the sake of getting things running, although I'd recommend you don't do this. Personally, I do this step to make sure everything else is working, then change it back and source it later.

 ## Heroku
 This implementation of Speed Up Your City has been tested on Heroku, on a free dyno, with a small MySQL instance add-on ($9.99 a month, only recommend for testing purposes)
