Clean URL's

Rails
1

I am working a project where I would like to make the url’s clean,
meaning, not showing the user id. I have been follow Patrick Lenz’s book
on how to do this without any success. No matter what I put, the route
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’ allows gets executed. If I take it
out and place my own at the very top, the whole things crashes. Is there
another way or a better way to do this? Thanks,
