Rails - Sep 2008 - storing settings ?

Hi, i''m building a blogging engine and it has a settings panel where
the
user set the blogs url, title, how many posts to display, how many in a
feed, etc.

These settings are stored in a table, in one record, which i''ve got in
the

Now to have those settings available to all the controllers / helpers /
etc. i''ve got this defined in the Application Controller...

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_filter :myconstants

  def myconstants
    @settings = Settings.find(:first)
  end
end


that''s all fine but is there any way i could do this better ?

appreciate any insight on this,
