You'll need an if test of some sort, as well as a closing end tag:

<% if current_user %>
  <span>....
<% else %>
   <span>....
<% end %>

did THE Jason Seifer just respond to my inquiry? Thanks a lot for taking your time to do that my man, kind of like when the head chef of a nice restaurant comes out and gives you your food, even though he probably has a bunch of better things to do. Thanks for making the program, I'm learning tons.

by the way, I just went through your Accepting Friendships video, in Adding state, building social features through ruby on rails, and i laughed extremely hard from 12:48 to 3:04, thanks for the comedy and the entire program, you're really funny!
