All of us might have seen breadcrumbs on most wordpress blog.
So why not implement a breadcrumb for the blogger blogs. For those who don't know what a breadcrumb is, here is a little definition from wikipedia.
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 trails like Home >> Label >> Post Name are the breadcrumbs.

So lets get into the details of implementing a breadcrumb navigation for blogger.

Goto your blogger Layout > Edit Html.

Backup your template and choose to Expand the Widget templates.

Now Find this piece of code.

<b:include data='top' name='status-message'/>

Now replace that with

<b:include data='top' name='status-message'/>
<b:include data='posts' name='breadcrumb'/>

Now find

<b:includable id='main' var='top'>

and replace it with

<b:includable id='breadcrumb' var='posts'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.homepageUrl == data:blog.url'>

<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>



<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>
» <data:post.title/>
</b:loop>


<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "archive"'>



<a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>Home</a> » Archives for <data:blog.pageName/>


<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'>


<b:if cond='data:blog.pageName == ""'>
<a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>Home</a> » All posts
<b:else/>
<a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>Home</a> » Posts filed under <data:blog.pageName/>
</b:if>


</b:if>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
<b:includable id='main' var='top'>

Now find

]]></b:skin>

and replace it with

.breadcrumbs {
padding:5px 5px 5px 0px;
margin: 0px 0px 15px 0px;
font-size:95%;
line-height: 1.4em;
border-bottom:3px double #e6e4e3;
}
]]></b:skin>

Now you should have a working breadcrumb navigation on your system.

Good Luck.
