What is a breadcrumb trail?
In order to make navigating our site easier, we have designed breadcrumbs into our pages. They will appear right below the page title, and allow you to quickly move back to the previous pages you were viewing.
Wikipedia definition: Breadcrumbs or breadcrumb trails are a navigation technique used in user interfaces. Its purpose is to give users a way to keep track of their location within programs or documents. The term is taken from the trail of breadcrumbs left by Hansel and Gretel in the popular fairytale.
The first documented usage of breadcrumbs on a notable webpage was on the homepage of Yahoo.com. The technique was pioneered through a UI study conducted by Matthew Rivard in 1997.
