Breadcrumb is simple navigation above your posts. It has multiple benefits. First of all it improves your blog navigation but it also make your website search engines friendly.
Adding a breadcrumb to your blog provides a form of
text-based navigation. A breadcrumb displays the visitor's location within a blog. The advantage of a breadcrumb is that it provides shortcuts to enable visitors to quickly get around your blog by jumping from one part of your blog to another.
Using this post as an example a breadcrumb might be
Home > Navigation > Add a Breadcrumb to Blogger Blogspot Blog. In cases where there is more than one label this hack uses the last label listed. If a visitor wanted to look at other posts about navigation all they need do is click on the "Navigation" link in the breadcrumb and they will be taken to a page which will show them all the posts with the "Navigation" label.
Here is an example of Breadcrumb Navigation.
Home > Label > Post Title
