[Rails] Re: Trouble understanding Routes

Thanks for the responses. I think I understand it now so I'll recap
real quick

// Routes get written in a priority order. Specialized routes on the
top (in this case assuming a RESTful manner from the controllers)
  map.resources :users
  map.resource :session
  map.resources :stories, :has_many => :votes, :collection => { :bin
=> :get }

// And the default layout for all routes not specifically set above
  map.root :controller => "stories"
  map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'
  map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'

Thanks again,
brianp
