CMS Made Simple Forums

Can someone please explain to me what breadcrumbs are?

I have just installed CMS Made Simple and I can pretty much get my head round it, but I still have no idea what breadcrumbs are. I have searched the forum and read through any available literature I can find, but I still can't find something that explains it in layman's terms that I can understand.

Thanks in advance,

Kirsty

Breadcrumbs are a navigational technique displaying all visited pages leading from the home page to the currently viewed page. All pages are linked for easy backwards navigation. Typically placed near the top of a web page.

Example:  Home >> Services >> Auto-Repair >> Trucks >> Transmission Repair

I was wondering about this myself and I'm glad its explained. Thanks.

Thank you so much! That is fantastically clear now

Thanks, Lemkepf. Breadcrumbs are now added to the Glossary of Terms (which is still quite empty...): http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/terms.shtml
