I insult my readers by saying they have nothing better to do than visit my site, and I get all this great feedback. Awesome! (And thanks. )

Well done – I love how clean it is.

A for those URLs, try this way down in your routes.rb:

map.connect ‘*path’, :controller => ‘pages’, :action => ’show’

Then in the pages controller you can get the path like this:

params[:path] && !params[:path].join(’/').blank? ? params[:path].join(’/') : ‘index’

Add a field in your pages table with a corresponding path (’about’ etc…) and you’re golden.

Looking forward to seeing the new Evolvist.

Thanks for the feedback! I was wondering if anyone would notice. I guess that’s a “yes”… pretty URL’s it is.

Congratulations. Very nice site. One picky comment: the URLs could be nicer. How about /about instead of /pages/2?
