Persistant Block Naming for USB?

I once seen a topic on this forum about something similar to an issue I am having, evertime I reboot and put my usb in the drive letter chages thus making my fstab line useless. How would I goo about making a udev rule for usb block naming?

I'm pretty sure there's at least one wiki page on this. Check it against /etc/udev/readme-udev-arch.txt to make sure you get the syntax right - there have been a lot of changes in quick succession, and the wiki page(s) may not have kept up.

Well there is this article:

but seemed rather overwhelming to me, I've read just using a udev rule would solve my issue, but can't find the same forum topic I found awhile ago. I'll try as yuo suggested.
