If you are only ever going to filter for category_id, you could do this:
> $html->link($category_name,array('controller'=>'Blogs',
> 'action'=>'index', 3));Then change you index function to: function index($category_id = null) ...and then check for a non null value later in your code when you do your data extraction.
