 Description:
-    The scaffold resource generator creates a model, a controller, and a set of templates for use in a REST-like,
-    resource-oriented fashion. This basically means that it follows a set of conventions to exploit the full set of
-    HTTP verbs (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE) and is prepared for multi-client access (like one view for HTML, one for an XML
-    API, one for ATOM, etc). Everything comes with sample unit and functional tests as well.
+    The scaffold resource generator creates a model, a controller, and a set of templates that's ready to use as the

     The generator takes the name of the model as its first argument. This model name is then pluralized to get the 
     controller name. So "scaffold_resource post" will generate a Post model and a PostsController and will be intended

     You don't have to think up all attributes up front, but it's a good idea of adding just the baseline of what's 
     needed to start really working with the resource.
+    
+    Once the generator has run, you'll need to add a declaration to your config/routes.rb file to hook up the rules
+    that'll point URLs to this new resource. If you create a resource like "scaffold_resource post", you'll need to
+    add "map.resources :posts" (notice the plural form) in the routes file. Then your new resource is accessible from
+    /posts.
 
 Example:
     ./script/generate scaffold_resource post # no attributes, view will be anemic
