+Feature: Blog Post Authors
+  Blog posts can be assigned authors through the given user model
+  current_user is assumed through admin screens
+  
+  Scenario: Saving a blog post in blog_posts#new associates the current_user as the author
+    Given there is a user named "hubble"
+    And I am logged in as "hubble"
+    
+    When I am on the new blog post form
+    And I fill in "Title" with "This is my blog post"
+    And I fill in "Body" with "And I am hubble"
+    And I press "Save"
+    
+    Then there should be 1 blog post
+    And the blog post should belong to "hubble"
