How to add breadcrumbs code to Twenty Ten, WordPress 3.0.1 Theme without plugins.
Almost similar to adding code to Thesis theme, if you use other themes, in this tutorial i use Twenty Ten, then we will have to insert the code in functions.php.
I strongly recommend you backup the file, can be done by copying the code to notepad, and save it in your desktop. Because functions.php file is sensitive.
If you choose to have a plugin to add breadcrumbs in your blog, see more on this breadcrumb wordpress plugin post.
I rather adding some codes manually than installing plugin, but plugin can make our world easier š

Hey nice tips…will this work for whitehouse theme…I am using that theme only…
Hey DTP,
I am sure it will work. But before trying, backup your theme first. Best is trying in local wordpress blog, and try it with the same theme. If it works, then you can apply in your blog online.
