Hello, I wanted to create some basic html pages to add to my rails app. I figured the restful way to do it would be to create a controller. The problem is I'd like the pages to be a two word title. => ex. www.mydomain.com/foo-bar/ For SEO reasons it really must be two words, and I need the separation...using www.mydomain.com/foobar...
