Breadcrumbs or breadcrumb trail is a navigation aid used in user interfaces. It gives users a way to keep track of their location within programs or documents. The term comes from the trail of breadcrumbs left by Hansel and Gretel in the popular fairytale.

    <b:includable id='breadcrumb' var='posts'>
    <b:if cond='data:blog.homepageUrl == data:blog.url'>
    <!-- No breadcrumb on home page -->
    <b:else/>
    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
    <!-- breadcrumb for the post page -->
    <p class='breadcrumbs'>
    <span class='post-labels'>
    <a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl' rel='tag'>Home</a>
    <b:loop values='data:posts' var='post'>
    <b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
    <b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
    <b:if cond='data:label.isLast == "true"'> »
    <a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'><data:label.name/></a>
    </b:if>
    </b:loop>
    <b:else/>
    »Unlabelled
    </b:if>
    » <span><data:post.title/></span>
    </b:loop>
    </span>
    </p>
    <b:else/>
    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "archive"'>
    <!-- breadcrumb for the label archive page and search pages.. -->
    <p class='breadcrumbs'>
    <span class='post-labels'>
    <a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>Home</a> » Archives for <data:blog.pageName/>
    </span>
    </p>
    <b:else/>

    </b:if>
    </span>
    </p>
    </b:if>
    </b:if>
    </b:if>
    </b:if>
    </b:includable>
    <b:includable id='main' var='top'>
  9. Now Find ]]></b:skin> and replace it with the below code :
    .breadcrumbs {
    padding:5px 5px 5px 0px;
    margin: 0px 0px 15px 0px;
    font-size:95%;
    line-height: 1.4em;
    border-bottom:3px double #e6e4e3;
