33,158 PointsGetting rid of the '#' for the other routes
In my 'router.js' file of my Ember application, I wrote
Blogger.Router.map(function () {
this.resource('posts', {path:'/'});
});
And that means that 'posts' lives on the root of the server...
But if I change the next route to:
this.resource('about', {path:'/about'});
I still get the '#'.
I.e., the URL when I click on 'about' is : http://0.0.0.0:8000/#/about
Just confused as to why I can't get rid of that silly '#' for the other paths.

According to the Ember docs on routing and specifying the URL type:
By default the Router uses the browser's hash to load the starting state of your application and will keep it in sync as you move around. At present, this relies on a hashchange event existing in the browser.
There is an explanation on that same page as to how to change /#/posts/new to /posts/new.
Hope it helps,
Ken

33,158 PointsThank you Ken! So it took a little bit of testing to figure out, but essentially the solution for me was to add:
Blogger.Router.reopen({
location: 'history'
});
To the top of my router.js file. And keeping the map functions below.
Now the # is gone! :)

Pleased to hear it worked out! Ember.js is a great framework with a lot of learning involved to access it's fullest potential. Sounds like you are on your way!
Happy coding,
Ken
