Breadcrumbs

Posted on February 06, 2003 @ 10:25 in Webdesign

On a site I'm designing I've just implemented a breadcrumb navigational tool. (Breadcrumbs I hear you ask... Just like in leaving a breadcrumb trail to find your way back, like so: Home > Category > Subcategory > Page) This exploratory study on usage and usability of breadcrumb navigation seems to say that breadcrumbs aren't necessarily a big help in navigating a site, even though they are used by the participants. Personally I like them though, since they allow me to better visualize where I am in the site, which in turn means that I'm better able to see where I'm going and how I'm going to get there.

Comments and trackbacks have been closed on this site. My apologies.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
