Rails slugs - Knowledge Base. Apparently "slug" is the preferred term for the hyphenated title in place of an ID in pretty urls. Who knew? Make it a lot easier to search for different implementation ideas though.

Where am I?
This site belongs to Matthew J. Tarbit esquire. A tired old web developer holed-up in a hideaway somewhere in the depths of Leeds, England.
Along with being a home for my ramblings and linkings, it's also a resting place for the bones of a shared blog by the name of Pixelised, now long departed.
If you feel the need, you may add my outpourings to the deluge that is your already overflowing info drip feed.
Or why not rest a while and dig through my entries like a corpulent pig in search of all that is truffle-icious.
