      # Validates that the specified attributes are not blank (as defined by Object#blank?). Happens by default on save. Example:
      #
      #   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     validates_presence_of :first_name
      #   end
      #
      # The first_name attribute must be in the object and it cannot be blank.
      #
      # If you want to validate the presence of a boolean field (where the real values are true and false),
      # you will want to use <tt>validates_inclusion_of :field_name, :in => [true, false]</tt>.
      #
      # This is due to the way Object#blank? handles boolean values: <tt>false.blank? # => true</tt>.
      #
      # Configuration options:
      # * <tt>message</tt> - A custom error message (default is: "can't be blank").
      # * <tt>on</tt> - Specifies when this validation is active (default is <tt>:save</tt>, other options <tt>:create</tt>,
      #   <tt>:update</tt>).
      # * <tt>if</tt> - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should
      #   occur (e.g. <tt>:if => :allow_validation</tt>, or <tt>:if => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 2 }</tt>).
      #   The method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.
      # * <tt>unless</tt> - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should
      #   not occur (e.g. <tt>:unless => :skip_validation</tt>, or <tt>:unless => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step <= 2 }</tt>).
      #   The method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.
