== Creating friendly URLs and caching
Because of the `page` parameter and Rails 3 routing, you can easily generate SEO and user-friendly URLs. For any resource you'd like to paginate, just add the following to your `routes.rb`:
resources :my_resources do
get 'page/:page', :action => :index, :on => :collection
end
This will create URLs like `/my_resources/page/33` instead of `/my_resources?page=33`. This is now a friendly URL, but it also has other added benefits...
Because the `page` parameter is now a URL segment, we can leverage on Rails page caching[http://guides.rubyonrails.org/caching_with_rails.html#page-caching]!
NOTE: In this example, I've pointed the route to my `:index` action. You may have defined a custom pagination action in your controller - you should point `:action => :your_custom_action` instead.
