Thanks! I use them all the time of course but I didn't know the
cutesy-pie webspeak name.

Ann,
The term breadcrumbs actually harks to the fairytale,
you know, Hansel and Gretel. It's just as Aahz writes,
a line of text in an inconspicuous place in the page design
that tells you which menu/branchmenu/leafmenu item you're currently
looking at.
The text line is your trail of crumbs back to the front page of your site.
Each level in the trail is clickable, so you can jump quickly one or
two steps back at a time.
Hth,
Jostein

Finally what the flying F*** are Breadcrumbs???
Here's a question I can answer. ;-)
Breadcrumbs are navigation bar (navbar) aids. Let's suppose I have a
nested gallery called Alaska | Skagway | Train. Someone who goes
into
the Train gallery will see "*Alaska* | *Skagway* | Train" at the top
of
their screen (where "*Alaska*" and "*Skagway*" are links to the
parent
galleries). This is incredibly useful and helpful for navigating
through
large sites.
So now what are Breadcrubms again???? :-)
To me it is incredibly confusing but I'm guessing breadcrumbs are
equivalent to keywords, in a way. yes?
If someone comes to my site and does a search on Utah, I presume
all the photos I've taken in Utah come up, as long as I have
put UTAH in the keyword section.
(Note carefully that I might be wrong about this WRT SmugMug if
they've
taken standard terminology and used it with a different meaning.)
I don't think they would do that - I just found it annoying that
they throw these terms around as if all the photogs on the site
spoke techy while at the same time emphasizing that you dont need
techiness to fix your pages.
