Rails - Oct 2009 - Atom Feed

I am trying to create an atom feed by following closely (but not
exactly) the example provided in DHH blog screencast.  I am getting
the error:

No route matches "/blog/atom_feed.atom" with {:method=>:get}

I was expecting to have problems getting this going; but, not routing
problems.  That should be pretty basic.  Anyway,  my controller action
in the ''blog'' controller looks like this:

def atom_feed()
   @posts=BlogPost.find(:all,:order=>''created_at'').reverse
   respond_to do |format|
      format.atom
   end
 end

Following the example, I created a template (in app/views/blog) named,
''atom_feed.atom.builder''.  Here is its contents:

atom.feed do |feed|
  feed.title("My Great Blog!")
  feed.updated(@posts.first.created_at)
  @posts.each do |post|
    feed.entry(post) do |entry|
      entry.title(post.title)
      entry.content(post.body,:type=>''html'')
      entry.author { |author| author.name("Doug Jolley") }
    end
  end
end

I have a hunch that my problems are in some way related to the use of
the ''builder'' template format which I have never even heard of
before.  Anyway, can someone please give me a clue as to why I am
having routing problems with this?

Thanks for any input.

Did you define the new route on config/routes.rb?

No; and, that seems to be what I have to do.  I was hoping that I
wasn''t going to have to tweak the routes.rb file.  I sort of like
having it pristine in its out-of-the-box state.  Oh well.  Problem
solved.  Thanks so much for the input.
