Beautiful Breadcrumb Widget For Blogger

Today, I'm going to share a beautiful breadcrumb widget which will fit perfectly for every blog and website out there.

Introduction

Breadcrumb navigation is a common thing in a blog , it is always displayed above every post titles, it provides your readers a way to keep on track of their current location within your blog or website, it also displays the labels or tags where the post is filed and of course a homepage url. Unfortunately, bloggers and web designers today does not pay much attention to it because of its poor quality design. That's why today I will share you a beautiful and well-designed breadcrumbs navigation.

 Search for <b:include data='top' name='status-message'/> and just before it copy the following code
