But if I click the logout link , I get 

Routing Error

No route matches [GET] "/users/sign_out"

This is the application.html.erb:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>  devise_for :users
<head>
  <title>Rorblog</title>
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag    "application" %>
  <%#= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
  <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">

    <div id="header">

        <ul class="hmenu">
            <li>
                <%= link_to('Home', home_index_path ) %>
            </li>
            <% if user_signed_in? %>
              <li>
                <%= link_to('Logout', destroy_user_session_path, :method => :delete) %>
              </li>

              <li>
                <%= link_to('Edit registration', edit_user_registration_path) %>
              </li>

            <% else %>
              <li>
                <%= link_to('Login', new_user_session_path)  %>
              </li>
            <% end %>
        </ul>
        <p class="notice"><%= notice %></p>
        <p class="alert"><%= alert %></p>       
    </div>

    <div id="content">
        <div id="loadwhat">
            <%= yield %>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div id="footer">
        <%= "user1@copyright.com" %>
    </div>
</div>

</body>
</html>

From page source I got:

<a href="/users/sign_out" data-method="delete" rel="nofollow">Logout</a>

    The “rake routes” task shows the HTTP method that it will respond to in the second column. In the case of destroy_user_session_path, it only responds to the DELETE HTTP method. This is for safety as this is a destructive action, and different than a GET request. Ideally, web crawlers will not follow DELETE links because of their potential destructiveness.

    As Arun Kumar Arjunan states, you will need to explicitly specify that this link should be executed with a DELETE method. By placing “:method => :delete” in your link, Rails UJS will convert this link to DELETE instead of a GET request, and follow the redirection from the server.

    More information on HTTP methods here: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html
