Search Engine Optimized breadcrumbs

I had a need to build some search engine optimized breadcrumbs for a project I’m working on right now.  I didn’t want to just use Yoast’s breadcrumbs, because I’m using Twitter Bootstrap, and I wanted to make use of the built-in breadcrumbs support, so I did a Google, found something, tweaked it and am using… Continue reading Search Engine Optimized breadcrumbs
