Sorry, my last was a bit garbled. Here's a better one:

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|

# Home controller
map.home '', :controller => "Home"
map.root :home

# Administration controller
map.admin 'admin', :controller => "Administration"
map.users 'admin', :controller => "Administration", :action => :users
map.edit_user 'admin', :controller => "Administration", :action => 
:edit_user
map.add_user 'admin', :controller => "Administration", :action => :add_user
map.remove_user 'admin', :controller => "Administration", :action => 
:remove_user
map.content_edit 'admin', :controller => "Administration", :action => 
:content_edit
map.options 'admin', :controller => "Administration", :action => :options
map.system_eval 'admin', :controller => "Administration", :action => 
:system_eval

# Account controller
map.logout 'logout', :controller => "Account", :action => "logout"
map.login 'login', :controller => "Account", :action => "login"

# About controller
map.about 'about', :controller => "About"
map.faq 'faq', :controller => "About", :action => "faq"
map.getinvolved 'getinvolved', :controller => "About", :action => 
"getinvolved"
map.showcase 'showcase', :controller => "About", :action => "showcase"

# Blog controller
map.blog 'blog', :controller => "Blog"

# Forum controller
map.forum 'forum', :controller => "Forum"

# Contact controller
map.contact 'contact', :controller => "Contact"
end
