      # 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 validates_inclusion_of :field_name, :in => [true, false].
      #
      # This is due to the way Object#blank? handles boolean values: false.blank? # => true.
      #
      # Configuration options:
      # * :message - A custom error message (default is: "can't be blank").
      # * :on - Specifies when this validation is active. Runs in all
      #   validation contexts by default (+nil+), other options are :create
      #   and :update.
      # * :if - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should
      #   occur (e.g. :if => :allow_validation, or :if => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 2 }).
      #   The method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.
      # * :unless - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the validation should
      #   not occur (e.g. :unless => :skip_validation, or :unless => Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step <= 2 }).
      #   The method, proc or string should return or evaluate to a true or false value.
      # * :strict - Specifies whether validation should be strict. 
      #   See ActiveModel::Validation#validates! for more information
