Create your own menu

Hello, I’m trying to create a “hand made” menu on “header.php” as the tool in admin panel is not enough because I use images,text, etc.

The thing is I don´t really know what I have to write in the href of each <a> tag to link to:

a) A post
b) A category

something like <a href="/category?cat_id=XXX"> or better <a href="/category?cat_name=XXX"> using the slug?

and something like <a href="/post?post_name=XXX">?

What is the correct link for post and category?

Thank you
