I wanted to have some nice URL for my blog, after googling the possible alternatives I found Friendly_Id

This solution is really easy to implement. I had just to change few things from the documented setup.

to add the slug to my Post model, I create the migration this way:

rails generate migration add_slug_to_posts slug:string

and for the index addition:

add_index :users, :slug, :unique => :true

For the Post model I add in app/models/post.rb these lines:

extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :title, :use => :slugged

After restarting my application and the apache server it is just working perfectly!
