Breadcrumbs are an alternative navigation. Not only do they act as a visual aid to inform the reader about their position in the blog's hierarchy but also give a more structured feel. The previous post was about how to integrate Breadcrumbs into Blogger and this one is a showcase of 5 designs which you can use in place of the default design provided before. All of these designs use CSS3 extensively with no use of images anywhere. Each of them is beautifully styled and should integrate well with your blog's current design.Before You get Started
Make sure that you already have Breadcrumbs in your blog. In case you haven't put them , follow this tutorial first before proceeding further. Also if you putting them now , then don't include any CSS mentioned in the steps .
Make sure remove all the CSS related to the Breadcrumbs from your blog
We will be using a common HTML structure for all these design , it is something like
<div class='breadcrumbs' >
<a class='first' href='#' ><span>Home</span></a>
<a href='#' ><span>CSS3</span></a>
<a href='#' ><span>Widgets</span></a>
</div>
Now lets get started , just add the CSS in your template manually or add it directly using the One-Click button
