When in doubt, read the documentation :) (api.cakephp.org is an
amazing resource).

One general observation, when creating links using cake functions
(Such as $html->link) it is best to use the array method as Cake the
checks your routes and returns the correct url for a particular
controller/action pair even if you have funny routes.

The array method is like this: array('controller' => 'controllerName',
'action' => 'actionName', ...., anyNumberOfArgumements)
