codeIgniter Navigation Basics
===

How do you make a simple navigation in Code Igniter? I keep tripping up on all these pseudo folders. Originally I was looking to make something that dug through a folder and grabbed all the file-names, then placed them in an array to order them into a nav bar.

Problem is, it seems that CI uses public functions for the pseudo folder in each page. Such as "public function aboutme()" would work out to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/index.php/[classname]/aboutme. This poses a problem for me, because when making links like <a href="/contactme">test</a> works out to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/[classname]/contactme.

Is there a better, dynamic way to make a nav bar without using a database? I CAN use a database, but I'm trying to learn CI and since I'm already well-versed in MySQL I wanted to find a way to do this some other way.
