 We need to do this as Rails will deliver any static file in the +public+ directory in preference to any dynamic contact we generate from the controllers.
 
-Now, you have to tell Rails where your actual home page is located. Open the file +config/routes.rb+ in your editor. This is your application's _routing file_ which holds entries in a special DSL (domain-specific language) that tells Rails how to connect incoming requests to controllers and actions.

This is your application's _routing file_ which holds entries in a special DSL (domain-specific language) that tells Rails how to connect incoming requests to controllers and actions. This file contains many sample routes on commented lines, and one of them actually shows you how to connect the root of your site to a specific controller and action. Find the line beginning with +:root to+, uncomment it and change it like the following:
 
 <ruby>
 Blog::Application.routes.draw do |map|
 
-  root :to => "home#index"
-
-  # The priority is based upon order of creation:
-  # first created -> highest priority.
   #...
+  # You can have the root of your site routed with "root"
+  # just remember to delete public/index.html.
+  root :to => "home#index"
 </ruby>
 
 The +root :to => "home#index"+ tells Rails to map the root action to the home controller's index action.
