I currently have list of different articles (in this case health  
articles) at the moment their show URL format is:

[http://localhost:3000/conditions/1](http://localhost:3000/conditions/1)

but I would like a more descriptive URL than this, so I would like it  
to read:

[http://localhost:3000/conditions/cancer](http://localhost:3000/conditions/cancer)

This is the title of the article which is currnetly stored in a row in  
the database. I’m new to all this so thought i’d ask for some  
pointers 🙂

Thanks.
