Breadcrumbs Navigation For Blogger

Breadcrumb navigation helps your readers to track their position on your blog by showing a breadcrumb trail in this way (Home » Label Name » Post Title).This navigation appears just above of the your post title and the links are a trail from the homepage to post title.There is also option for showing the multiple labels in this navigation i.e. if any post have more than one label then it will show all of them.The original breadcrumbs idea is given by the HOCTRO and Aneesh of bloggerplugins futher worked on it.

This code will only display the last label of the post in the breadcrumb. If you want to display all the labels, then you will have to remove the code in line number 16 and 18. Now find below code:

]]></b:skin><br />
add below CSS code just above it

 .breadcrumbs {<br /> background: #F7F7F7;<br /> float: left;<br /> border: 1px solid #E6E6E6;<br /> width: 575px;<br /> font-size: 11px;<br /> margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;<br /> padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px;<br /> }<br />
