Hi there-

Luckily, my manager kept her e-mail with the winning submissions for the
alternative suggestions for the Breadcrumb trail:

Seriously Appropriate Category: Winner was "navigation trail"

Honorable Mentions:
history trail; location indicator; map milestones; navigation link; page
path; path; path link; process path; screen navigation trail; back track;
flashback; footprints; roadsigns; site link

In the Totally Ridiculous Category: Winner: whereyabeen

In the Honorable Mention Category: backdraft
beaten path; escape route; family tree; Goldi Links; Hansel's helper;
lifeline; Link Thingy; Link-n-Park; Pinky-Linky; psychopath; skid-mark;
stepping stone; Where-am-I's; Circle of Life

The two Winners got "Breadcrumb Baskets" filled with breads! The
Honorably Mentioned get mini-chocolate bars. As you can tell, we have WAY
too much fun at our office :-)))

Have a great day!
:-) joan

Here's our original email asking for submissions:
"Breadcrumb" or "Breadcrumb Trail"

One or more hypertext links back to a previous web page. In our software,
the Breadcrumb Trail is located at the top of the workspace area. As you
perform a process in our softare where selections in the left pane are
required, each page completed becomes part of this hyperlink so that you
can backtrack through a process.

Example: Company > Broker > Fee Schedules > Sliding Fees

Sample Entries
