.breadcrumb a {color: #abc !important;}

I discovered the NavXT plugin a bit before reading this article, but what I like about this article is the demonstration of how Veerle did the graphic arrow thang… I might look into using a background image instead of just a typographic symbol.

Nice article!

Thank you for submitting this cool story – Trackback from NewsPeeps…

@Paul Davis: What? Really? Can you send in a screenshot or something? Is it all pages or just this one?

And just an FYI: Your blog sets my Safari security off and send me a warning of possible malware…

function the_breadcrumb() {
       if (!is_home()) {
              echo '<a href="';
              <code>echo get_option('home');
              echo '">Home';
              echo "</a> &raquo; ";
              if (is_category() || is_single()) {
                     the_category('title_li=');
                     if (is_single()) {
                            echo " &raquo; ";
                            the_title();
                     }
              } elseif (is_page()) {
                     echo the_title();
              }
       }
}

Then simply reference the breadcrumb function with this snippet <?php the_breadcrumb(); ?> wherever you want the breadcrumb trail to appear. For example above the title in single.php. One caveat, the reference needs to be within the loop.

Disclaimer: I did not create this code, and unfortunately can’t remember where I found it. I use it on my blog and can vouch that it works.

Agreed, breadcrumbs should be part of WP by default.

Just like they offer tagging, and then provide a function to display a tag cloud.
